Estimating Loads
The best way to confirm that all
loads are within limits is to check
them at a public scale.
To help ensure a safe drive to a scale,
or if you cannot get to a public scale,
we recommend that you estimate
your total trailer weight and tongue
load as described next.
I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
To Estimate the Total Trailer Weight
Add the weight of your trailer (as
quoted by the manufacturer) with
everything in or on the trailer. Check
the tables on page 150 that you do
not exceed the limit for your
conditions.
