To find the center of gravity unload the camper onto a good level surface, preferably on concrete, and lower it onto a piece of pipe across the suspected center of gravity. If it balances that is it, if not move the pipe to the lower end until it is balanced. Mark the location.
Is this just something you thought was a good idea, or have you done it in the past?
What you said works on a chalk board in physics class, but I can think of a half dozen reasons why, just off the top of my head that this is either not practical, not possible or not even remotely necessary.
And, if it’s that interesting, loading it up and running each truck axle onto a scale empty and loaded will get you the same info with a little more math and a lot less effort and potential damage.
It’s not like you’re gonna do this in the sellers driveway before buying the camper.
