We live in a rural area and have access to a ground level scale as well. Never a charge but that is probably because everyone knows everyone here. There are probably no more than 3 motor homes near us. We have gotten into the annual routine of unloading everything in the basement compartments, weighing the coach at four corners with both of us on board and then reloading. It allows us to evaluate what we have accumulated and whether we need to reload it. It's amazing what creeps into those storage areas over a year. What goes back in is carried to a cheap set of bath scales, weighed and the weight noted on a sketched diagram of the coach divided into four quadrants. Yes, a little anal and no not truly most accurate way but we have been able to stay considerably under weight for three seasons now. It also reminds us of the location of key items. Still trying to figure out why I stored 2 quarts of oil in the compartment with the charcoal grill and a miniature Christmas tree!
