TIFFIN MOTORHOMES
In certain states, the Highway Patrol routinely weighs motor homes to check for overloaded axle weights.
Therefore, there are many good reasons for assuring that the motor home is properly loaded and not overloaded—this
can be accomplished through a proper weighing of the fully loaded motor home.
One can find various places that have certified public scales where one's motor home can be weighed. For example,
moving and storage company lots, farm suppliers with grain elevators, gravel pits, recycling companies, and large-scale
commercial-truck stops are some of the possible locations for weighing the motor home. One can also check the Yellow
Pages of the telephone book for "scales – public" or "weighers" to determine other locations for weighing the motor
home. A brief overview of the procedure for weighing the motor home is shown in Figure 13-8.
Figure 13-8. Procedure for Weighing the Motor Home (Each Tire Position Individually)
Note 1: From the tire manufacturer's load and inflation tables or the sidewall of the tires mounted on the motor home.
Note 2: If the motor home has duals, read dual capacity from the tire and multiply by 2 (two) to obtain dual-assembly
loadc arrying capacity.
