WEIGHING YOUR RV

Your RV must be weighed when it is fully loaded. This includes passengers, food, clothing, water, fuel, supplies, any towed vehicles behind a motorhome, and the tow vehicle for an RV trailer. It is important to weigh your RV at a location that can provide axle-end specific weights. You should not expect to measure equal loads at both ends of the same axle, because floor plans and component locations vary significantly, however, you should distribute the load to obtain the best balance possible.

Some places where you can weigh your RV:

• RVSEF Weight & Tire Safety Program - a service offered at many RV rallies and shows
• CAT Scales
• Weber Son & Service Repair Inc.
• Truck stops
• Farm co-ops or feed mills
• Some sand and gravel yards

Use the following guidelines to ensure proper tire inflation pressure for motorhomes and RV trailer tow vehicles:

• Determine the heaviest end of each axle and use that load to select the inflation pressure for all tires on that axle.
• Refer to the appropriate Goodyear load and inflation table and select the inflation pressure for the load that is nearest to, but not less than, the load you measured, by moving up the table to the pressure line. Note that load and inflation tables include separate information for single and dual applications. For single applications, you can use the measured information directly, while for dual applications, you will need to divide the wheel position load you measured by two, then enter the table.
