To determine the wheel position weight:
5. Pull the RV onto the scale so only one tire is on the scale. Record the weight. Your
RV must remain as level as possible on the scale (even though an axle or side is not
physically on the scale).
6.
To calculate the opposite side of the RV wheel position weight, subtract the first side’s
weight from the weight determined in step #3.
If there is a difference in the weights on one side of the vehicle as compared to weights on
the other side, components (tires, wheels, brakes, springs, etc.) on the heavier side could be
overloaded, even though the total axle load is within the GAWR.
Once actual weights are obtained, compare them to the

ratings to ensure you are below the posted minimum ratings.
