I haven't weighed my rig yet but have found a gravel yard close to me where I can get it done. Because it is a very busy scale, I want to minimize the time I have their scale tied up. I think that if I first weigh my entire rig, 2nd just the trailer axles, then park and disconnect the trailer, and 3rd weigh just the tow vehicle, I should have all the info I need.
The entire rig weight minus the tow vehicle weight should be the total trailer weight. The total trailer weight minus the trailer axle weight should be very close to the tongue weight. I know leverage plays a roll in the tongue weight calculation but is that close enough for all practical purposes?
