went to the scales, what do you think?

I went to the scales with my camper in "ready to camp" form. Here are my numbers:
Steer Axle 2960
Drive Axle 3700
trailer axle 5200
Gross weight 11860

From the sticker on my door:
GVWR 7200
GAWR FRT 3300
GAWR RR 4200

weight of occupants and cargo should not exceed 1367

I will get a weight of the truck (2008 suburban 1500) by itself next week.

What do you think of these numbers?

    It should be listed in your owners manual. Unfortunately it is not on the door stickers.

    To get the best overall picture of the weights, you really need to do a three pass procedure at the scales. It's outlined here on the forum in an older post by Ron Gratz.

    Without knowing the GCWR or the truck's weight I don't know what to think.
