Common sense but just a little this way or the other,effects axle weights a lot.

I wonder why the state scales have designated spots for there weights?The margin of error is quite a bit for a TC and axle weights if your getting towards max axle weight for the given axle,not the vehicle axle weight.

I do not see why anyone who has not been shown just how to do it accurately can say it is accurate...

It is an estimate at best,in my opinion and why the rear axle weights differ so much from user to user with the same truck camper.

The dang thing ain't going to break anyway over a couple hundred pounds but the new truck camper owners do pay attention to what is written from the kool kids.

Ok, I'll admit that all the scales in Oregon I've used were CLOSED and likely not calibrated in years. (I can also fit both truck axles on the scale all at once)

Both of my trucks loaded were/are way over GVWR on paper AND at the uncalibrated scales. Empty my 97' rear end weighed in at ~3000lbs, funny my 17' rear end weighed in at ~3000lbs as well.

I run Toyo M608Z's 265/70R19.5 at 90PSI in the rear. Technically I think the 4500lbs Vision rims I have are the "weak link" on the rear as the tires are class "G" and rated at 5500lbs at 110psi.

Loaded and ready for camping my NL 9.6QCSE weighs in at ~4000lbs.
