LarryJM, with all that scale time and effort, how do you manage to have any fun ;-)
LOL It takes me 10 extra min to run across the scales at my first fuel stop and that 10 min out of a normal "road trip" for us which averages between 40 and 70 days hasn't impacted the "FUN FACTOR" in the least. I do the scale thing every single time because I'm running within 100 to 200 lbs of the max weights on both my TT axles and the rear axle on my Van. God forbid that something were to happen I would want to be able to demonstrate with actual numbers that I was not operating my vehicle outside it's stated weight limitations.
If you've looked at or read any of my posts on just the mods I have done you would see that I do tend to "go the extra mile" in almost everything I do and that's just me.
Being fully retired and enjoying life since the ripe old age of 42 with basically no financial worries I have the luxury of both time and resources to do whatever I desire to whatever level I want and consider myself blessed to be in such a situation.:B
Our next road trip will be spending 50 days in Fort Wilderness at Disney World this Christmas visiting "THE MOUSE" and rubbing elbows with "HARRY POTTER" at Universal.:W
I do regret no taking the time when we purchased our current trailer of not running it across the scales on the way home from the dealer, but at that time it just didn't occur to me to do that since I knew I would be weighing it periodically since I had done the same with our previous trailer since about 2000 when we started doing extended road trips and really packing the Van heavy with extra fuel and food.
