I wonder if anyone has tried something like this with their camper:
When I purchased this boat in Washington and brought it to Oregon, the DMV nicely informed me that fully loaded trailers less than 1800lbs do not need a plate. They leave the highway scales on 24x7, so I went by on a Saturday and took these pictures. Came home, took the plates off the trailer, and called it good.
I do keep a copy of these pictures in the boat just in case I am pulled over for no plate.
Instead of doing the math, why not take the truck camper off the truck right at the scale. Yeah, it will take a few minutes, but you will get a 100% reading on what the camper itself weighs.
