Refer to your local telephone directory to find a state-certi-
fied, public weigh station. The following procedures will help
you determine whether your loaded motor home (complete
with cargo, fluids, passengers, and driver) is within GAWR,
GVWR, and GCWR limits. When you arrive at a weigh
station the attendant will guide you through the correct posi-
tioning of the motor home on the scales.
1 . Center the front wheels on the scale platform and take a
