On the Road
To obtain tow vehicle individual wheel position weights:
1. Place the right front tire of the tow vehicle on the scale with RV off scale and take a weight
reading. Subtract this from the weight of the front axle to get the left front tire weight.
2. Place both right side tires on the scale with RV off scale and take a weight reading.
3. Subtract the weight of the right front tire from the weight of the right side of the tow vehicle to
find the weight on the right rear tire.
4. Subtract the weight of the right rear tire from the weight of the rear axle to get the weight of the
left rear tire.
5. Compare the weight on each tire to the tire load rating on its sidewall. The weights on the tires
must not exceed the tire rating.
To obtain RV individual axle weights:
1. Place all of the RV axles on the scale with tow vehicle off the scale and record the weight.
2. Pull the RV forward until the rear most axle is on the scale and the forward axle is off the scale.
Record the weight of the rear axle.
3. The difference between these two weights is the weight on the front axle.
4. Compare the weight of each axle to the GAWR. The weight on either axle must not exceed its
individual rating.
To obtain RV individual wheel position weights:
1. Place the right-side tires of the RV on the scale with tow vehicle off the scale and record the
weight.
2. Pull forward until only the RV right rear tire is on the scale and take a weight reading.
3. Subtract the weight of the right rear tire from the weight of both right-side tires to find the right
front tire weight.
4. Subtract the weight of the right front tire from the front axle weight to find the left front tire
weight.
5. Compare the weight on each tire to the tire load rating on its sidewall. The weights on the tires
must not exceed the tire load rating.
 Do not exceed the rated load of the tow vehicle, the RV, or the rated
capacity of any axle or tire.
 Please check with your tow vehicle manufacturer for your towing
specifications.
 Periodically re-weigh your RV and tow vehicle. Different traveling
configurations may change your load and weight distribution. If
other equipment or options such as leveling jacks, awnings, roof
storage pods, etc, are installed after the RV leaves the factory, the
weight of these items must be subtracted from the load and CCC.
