How often do you weigh your rig that you see a need for this?
While I agree that a truck scale is better than nothing, it is not easy to find one that will let you weigh 1 side at a time, but if they will, you can get the same information. Escapees have individual wheel weights at multiple locations and they are at many RV rallies. The same is true for RV-SEF. If you can find a truck scale that doesn't have anything to prevent it, you can simply weigh all wheels and then go through a second time and center the wheels on one side on each pad to get that side and subtract to get the other. RVs are commonly heavier on one side than the other and loading it can make that much worse. Uneven loading can cause handling problems, uneven tire wear, or even blowouts. Weights by axle only are better than nothing.Don't wait months or years for an RV-SEF weigh-in for your region - get to a scale now!
This is true only if you can weigh both sides, so don't be mislead. Getting individual wheel weights isn't all that difficult if you make it a priority. In addition to the two that I listed there are several others. You should get weights by wheel at the earliest opportunity.It's not difficult and the results are entirely adequate for loading & adjusting your RV.
I do not understand your answer.. Even with the APP you have to pay to weighFlying J charges about 10 bucks to get a front / back weight.

I would guess that a relatively small percentage of RV owners ever weigh their rigs. Might be an opportunity for an creative entrepreneur to purchase professional portable scales and offer weighing services at cooperating RV parks.Maybe the best way but not generally available. Realistically, RVers need to use local truck business scales (moving companies, sand & gravel, etc) or the scales at truck stops. It's not difficult and the results are entirely adequate for loading & adjusting your RV. RV weights do not have to be pin-point accurate.

The Escapees RV Club offers their "Smart Weigh" individual wheel weight service at a number of the club owned parks and various club rallies.I would guess that a relatively small percentage of RV owners ever weigh their rigs.

Oh that's just great. Yet another of my brilliant ideas for a revolutionary business idea down the drain as someone else already thought of it...The Escapees RV Club offers their "Smart Weigh" individual wheel weight service at a number of the club owned parks and various club rallies.

I weighed at "traveling" weight. Gas full, water about half, fully stocked and all the standard kitchen gear. Also loaded are all the toys in the basements - fishing gear, scuba gear, tools camping gear/stoves etc.Along these lines when we receive our new RV in April. Is it best to fill up all water/gray tanks/black tanks(with water). Then go weigh it. I wouldn’t travel with all that. Maybe some in each. Or drive from dealership to scale weigh trailer by itself and go from there. I am trying not to over complicate this process
thanks
Not only do both the Escapees RV Club and also the RV-SEF organizations have portable scales that they take to many RV rallies, shows, and other gatherings, but there are several RV people who do it as well.Yet another of my brilliant ideas for a revolutionary business idea down the drain as someone else already thought of it...
