Even considering scales margin errors, the 225lb difference on front wheels is something I would be concern about. There is no way camper can do that.
Either the frame is twisted or is getting twisted.
I would check empty truck for that.
No. It's not. Well, actually it's an old style Ford, so the frames are more flexible. But what your're not accounting for is the combination of frame flex, springs, etc.
L front could easily be heavier. Battery on left?, driver on left, fuel tank a little L of center. $20 says the truck is heavier on left, empty. Add in the camper and it's anyones guess based on the weight dist in the camper. In this case the right was heavier (i think). Right side of my camper appears to be heavier based on air added to get the same ride ht.But now, fill up the black tank in the back L corner from the fw tank that is front n center and it all changes again.
Some people need to do more camping and less scale checks.
