Tongue Weight Scale

My Sherline instructions note to measure your tongue weight with the trailer "level" - as it would be hitched to your truck. Just looking at your picture, it looks like your scale is elevated above a level plane. Am I misinterpreting your pic?

Absolutely, you do want to measure gross tongue weight with the trailer leveled front to back on a relatively level surface. Don't read too much into that pic which was for illustration purposes only and is of a previous trailer we owned, not our current Coachmen, and is not included in my Freedom Express gallery ... I sure wasn't going to hitch up my trailer, drag it off the driveway to some lot somewhere simply for the purpose of leveling it so I could take a pic. :R
