Holy Eagle Cap Batman!
I've wanted to weigh my Eagle Cap 1160 since I got it, but for the last couple months the DOT scale near my house has been closed. Well Sunday I was returning from a camping trip and saw it was back ...

Well I have a question. I too had trouble with the readings, and then I went to Eagle Caps web site to have a look myself.
First I had a look at the 1165 model and found this page
1165
And then I looked at the 1160 and found this page
1160
Now it looks pretty obvious to someone looking at these two pages that the 1160 has it's center of gravity much closer to the front than the 1165.
Oh but "weight" a minute. Look carefully and you will see the two COG pictures are from opposite sides of the vehicle!! The overload bump stop is on the right in one picture, and on the left in the other!
In any case, they are showing a pic of a SRW truck and it's usable carrying load range. Both campers bear down behind the rear axle and will unload the front wheels and just what "options" or standard equipment comprise the dry weight?
HMMMMMMM!!
