Ps: On the Cat scale website it shows weighing the Tv / TT with TV front wheels on one scale, TV rear wheels on one scale, and TT wheels one 3rd scale. If this is possible with my rig will it give me the info I need to calculate hitch weight and other info I need or do I need to make a pass unhitched with just the TV? I am not using a WD system just a sway bar on one side of the hitch. Thanks, just a bit confused....

Thanks NC Hauler, we should be able to hit one of the places you posted on. We will be coming into Hendersonville area from Charlotte via 74 to our first stop which is Hickory Nut Falls near Chimney Rock. Then we will be going to Cherokee after a few days...so I think we will be passing both of the places you mentioned. BTW the truck weigh station .. is it a state weigh station? I was wondering if they will let me weigh on state weigh scales for a few $$?
To Longtrace, we did have a farm supply place about 15-20 miles from here that had a scale but I think they are now closed. I think most of the farmers here are out of business or have gotten bigger and haul their goods to the next county over. Our county is mostly beaches and golf courses now, not much need for truck scales.

If you want to use a weight distribution system, remember to include the weight of any gear you might load behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. You should add the weight of this gear to your tongue weight to select a weight distribution system of the proper size.---
1) measure the load on the front axle (or height of the front end) with the TV loaded for camping and unhitched from the TT,
2) attach the TT to the TV, and
3) adjust the WDH to return some of all of the load removed from the front axle (or eliminate some or all of the front end rise) due to addition of tongue weight.
If this procedure is used, the WDH does not have to redistribute the load which is removed from the TV's front axle due to adding weight behind the rear axle. And, the WD bars do not need to be sized to include the weight of gear in the TV behind the rear axle.

Almost every truck stop has a CAT scale that will give you three weights: front axle, rear axle, and trailer axle(s) on one pass.
