Weighing Vehicle (Loaded or Unloaded
The proper method to weigh the coach is to use a truck scale.
Place the coach axles (tires) and tongue jack 12” to 24” from the
edge. Unhook the tow vehicle and move forward 6” to 8”. Now
record total weight. Re-hook the tow vehicle and remove the
weight from the front support. Be sure no part of tow vehicle is on
the scale. Now record the axle weight only. The difference
between the two weights is the hitch weight.
KZRV suggests you also weigh each side (2 tires) separate to find
balance of pounds per side. Its possible to have 1 side correct and
the other side over-loaded. Often the slide out side or refer will be
slightly heavier than the other.
The second sticker is about the weight of cargo placed in your
coach. Location of the sticker is on the inside of your coach, on the
screen door, or inside of a cabinet door. It provides listed total
allowable weight of cargo minus liquids allowed, water and
propane.
