OK I've done searches but most I find talk about dual axle and motorhomes.

I'm trying yo confirm if I meet my max cargo carry capicty and under my axle weight. Confusing enough as Yellow Sticker says

UVW 2986
Cargo max 794

White Sticker says

GVWR 3800 lbs
GAWR 3500 lbs

Cargo Carry Capacity 290kg
calculated with Fresh Water Tank full
Cold 79kg
Hot 23kg
And waste water empty

Any whoo if I take it to the scales do I weight only the trailer on the scale? Meaning pull past scale with truck and only have the single trailer Axel on?

Do I do it this way as some tounge weight is carried by truck and not on axle this the difference between the 3800 GVWR and 3500 GAWR?

Any help would be appreciated. I looked up only and think I have it down but want to be sure. Basically how do I weight and what is my max weight.

I read your post to mean you only want to weigh your trailer. If that is so ALL you have to do is get an empty weight first then after loading get a heavy weight.

Put your trailer on ANY kind of scale it does not need to be one that is split in sections. Drop the Trlr move your truck off the scale. Redo for the heavy weight.

And then obviously the difference between the light weight and the heavy will be the weight of your load.

Your trailer axles are so close together that unless you have loaded your trailer exceptionally badly the weight on each axle will be very close (within a few pounds.

I really dont think you need to worry so much about this. I know my trailers empty weight and then weigh everything we put in it as I take it out the door. Typically about 400 lbs (which is no where near it's capacity)
