Shawn,
The front truck axle is supposed to be on scale platform one. The rear axle of the truck on scale platform two and the camper's axles on platform number 3.
Drive on to scale platform number two with the rig connected
pull forward slowly until just the front of the truck wheels are on the lead platform
Your rear truck axles should be on the second platform
Your camper axles should be on the third platform
Signal the scale opertator to weight the truck.
Get out of the cab and disconnect the WD bars and swing them away
Signal the scale operator to weigh again.
Drop the tongue wheel on the second platform and pull forward completely onto the first platform
Signal the operator to weigh for the last time
Back up and re-hitch; then pull clear of the scales.

We can crunch the numbers for you once we have valid ones to work with. You have introduced too many variables to make your weighs mean much.
The combined weight and the GVW of the TRUCK are the only numbers you have that are valid. Without knowing the actual tongue weight AND the unhitched weight of the truck you can not know the camper weight.
