![]() Has anyone officially weighed their RV / camper at a public scale?
I wouldnt mind weighing mine when I have a full load, but not sure where you would go. I dont think they will let me in the 18 wheeler weigh stations ![]()

![]() There are usually scales at contractor rental places, for heavy equipment/trucks. You can also check in the yellow pages, their should be some listings in your area in there as well.

![]() Thanks for the info Ruide, I had no idea you could do that. Did they charge you to weigh it? Nice rig by the way, that looks really nice!

![]() Mailfire99, Thank you very much. Yes the Cat Scales charged me $8.50. I paid an extra dollar since I wanted to weigh with it unhitched (i.e, so I could get the axle and tongue weights) as well as it hitched. It would have been a couple more dollars if I wanted a certified weight, but that was not necessary. If I recall correctly, I could have gone back within 24 hours for a re-weigh.

![]() Thats good info Ruide. I would like to get the packed weight of mine also. That is a nice rig, I agree. Do you haul anything on it, 4 wheeler or motorcycle?

![]() Very nice, very nice. I really like that storage on the front. We are still looking into campers, may get one this year or next, but I do like that storage area. I guess you could tow that with about any vehicle to, since its fairly light.

![]() I was talking a friend about a Truck Scale weigh station. He lives in a small town and said that he has actually used the scales at their county dump station. They didnt charge him to do it either.
Something maybe worth checking out if you have one near you.

![]() Thats interesting mailfire... I knew you could weigh them at some interstate scales, but havent heard about the dump stations before.
Very good point Ruide. You definitely have to be aware of your tongue weight and what class hitch your towing with. If you were hauling a camper and thats it, the specs will be on the camper, or in the manual, and you can determine what type of vehicle hitch you have and if it can handle it. |
