I have an older Lance camper, and am seriously considering upgrading to something new..er now that I am getting ready to retire and hope to be spending a LOT more time in the camper.Do any of the TC dealer have scales to make sure you are within all your truck weight ratings before driving off the lot?I have been doing research, and see that a LOT of people are unpleasantly surprised that their rig weighs in a lot higher than they expected.If the TC dealers don't have this available, I would think it would be a really good thing to add in order to have something that differentiates that dealership.

Some do some don't, If they do it will be a wheel scale not a big drive on scale like they have at truck stops. Some salesmen don't care if your within the limits they just want the sale.

I would think that the dealeships would only see a scale as a detriment. More people should just request a certified weight tag before making a deposit.

The last thing an RV salesman wants is a knowledgable buyer. Can't imagine them wanting a potential buyer to be loading the TC on their truck then weighing it before they own it.

I was thinking it would be a major "draw" for the knowledgeable shopper.Who knows....it might significantly decrease their sales if they aren't being conscientious about what they are selling.

They don't approach their business as if many of their customers will be repeat customers.
