In certain states, the Highway Patrol routinely weighs motor homes to check for overloaded axle weights.
Therefore, there are many good reasons for assuring that the motor home is properly loaded and not
overloaded—this can be accomplished through a proper weighing of the fully loaded motor home.
One can find various places that have certified public scales where one’s motor home can be weighed.
For example, moving and storage company lots, farm suppliers with grain elevators, gravel pits, recycling
companies, and large-scale commercial-truck stops are some of the possible locations for weighing the
motor home. One can also check the Yellow Pages of the telephone book for “scales – public” or
“weighers” to determine other locations for weighing the motor home. A brief overview of the
procedure for weighing the motor home is shown in Figure 14-7.
Note 1: From the tire manufacturer’s load and inflation tables or the sidewall of the tires mounted on the motor home.
Note 2: If the motor home has duals, read dual capacity from the tire and multiply by 2 (two) to obtain dual-assembly load-
carrying capacity.
