Fifth Wheel/Travel Trailer and Tow Vehicle Weighing
READING 1 - Tow Vehicle and Hitch
Weight:
Level and loaded for a
recreational vehicle.
Reading 2 - Tow Vehicle Only:
Loaded
for recreational vehicle.
Reading 3 - GAW Gross Axle Weight
Entire unit on scale level and loaded for
recreational vehicle. This is weight of
recreational vehicle without hitch weight.
Hitch Weight Only -
Subtract Reading
2 (tow vehicle) from Reading 1 (tow vehicle
& hitch weight).
GCW (Gross Combined Weight) -
Add
Reading 1 (tow vehicle & hitch weight) and
Reading 3 (GAW of recreational vehicle).
NOTE:
Compare actual weights to ratings to
ensure the recreational vehicle is below
the maximum ratings.
WARNING:
Never add items like generators,
tools or motorcycle racks to the rear
of the recreational vehicle. Weight
behind the axle tends to magnify any
sway that may occur when passing
trucks or in gusty winds. Hitch weight
recommendations are that 20 to 25%
of the fifth wheel load be on the hitch
pin. For travel trailer, hitch weight
recommendations are that 10 to 15%
of the travel trailer load be on the hitch
ball.
WARNING:
Improperly inflated or overloaded tires can cause a blowout. An overloaded axle can cause a
component failure of the suspension system. Tire blowout or broken suspension
components can lead to loss of vehicle control, property damage, personal injury or death.
Four Tire Weighing (Example)
NOTE:
Following scale readings and Gross Axle Weight Ratings are fictitious. Actual scale readings
and Gross Axle Weight Ratings will vary with model and options.
