A responsible RV owner should know how much their rig weighs, both empty and when fully loaded. Weighing your RV is the only way to know whether you are under the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) for your camper or motorhome. And remember, overloaded tires are the number one cause of blowouts!
Most RVers take their rigs to a CAT scale or other certified weigh scale. These are platform scales designed for heavy trucking. But CAT scales will only tell you how much your rig weighs in total. They can’t tell you how much weight rests on each individual wheel – and that’s where the danger lies!
