Dirty Data

For the remodel I expected lil' yeti would weigh enough to warrant the heavier axle. And that everything in my truck would justify new air springs. The way to be sure of course was to weigh 'em. Easy, right? Just drive the truck onto a scale to get its weight. Then park the trailer on the scale for its weight. Two readings.

Too simple? I wanted to know more. How was my truck's weight distributed between the front and rear axles? How much camper weight was on its tongue versus axle? How much the hitch weight of the trailer changed my truck axle weights? How much margin remained? Does anything need to go on a diet? Lotsa questions.
