I'm an RV, I have never gone across a scale. Although, today I went across a CAT scale after filling at the TSA. 16.630LBS. Full fuel, water, empty gray/black. Had a couple heavy items in the basement. Big air compressor and other stuff. Front was 5300, back 11,330 if I did the math right. 19,500 GVW
front axle rating 7200, back 13,500 I believe. I'm parked at Tammerack in WV for the night.

Ride is fine loaded . Its not bad unloaded if roads are decent.


Good to know! So on a different note, when traveling with the camper aboard, what has been your practice when approaching the various truck scales??

Many thanks,

Ditto what zb39 states; never pulled into an open scale. I'll argue all day long we're an RV. Confident in that and I'll take the discussion if it ever comes up. Includes that gawd awful state California. Bypass includes when we cross the pads and get flagged in...just skip it.

We're just over 19k on the truck, hover around 28k total with the trailer.


'16 F550 CC, 4x4 with Link Ultraride air suspension, '18 AF 1150. Just so we can play with our snowmobiles, dirt bikes and fishing boat. And new 20' tag along...kayaks, bikes, mc's and extra water and food!!
