Weighing your TC for an accurate measurement?
How do you weigh your truck camper for an accurate measurement for total weight and axle weights on a public scale?
Forum Discussion
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.
XYZ truck camper owner with a ABC truck may weigh his trucks axles when empty. Then slide the camper in for loaded axle weights. This gives him a dry weight camper number.
Another same truck and same camper owner may weigh his trucks front and rear axles....then load the camper on the truck and load the truck and camper with all his necessary junk then weigh the axles again. There can be a big difference in gross and gross axle weights. Plus we all don't carry the same necessary junk in our truck or our campers.
I see a lot of RV folks give their vehicles a estimated weight from a brochure or the vehicles mfg website ie; "my trucks weight is 7159 lbs". A actual scale reading will read even numbers in 20 lb increments.
And we see lots of rounded off numbers to the nearest 500 lbs such as 6000 or 6500 or 7000 lbs.
