Another CAT scale question

[tonyz1]

I recently got the chance to weigh camper and truck while going camping. Wanted to do all 3 weighing but scale was very busy, so I had to weigh fully hitched up at one scale and then weighed the truck by itself at another scale later down the road. Truck was loaded as weighed with the camper hooked up. To my understanding, can't you use the unhitched front axle weight of the truck to judge how much weight to try to put back on with the WDH? Adding pics of my 2 weighs. Please excuse if they are turned wrong. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know how you would figure how much weight you transferred without reweighing sort of a guess does one link = ?lbs. Why not measure the front fender height unhitched then connect the rig and bring the fender height back to within 1/2 inch of the unhitched height.

Thanks Seadog for the reply. I figured I might have to bite the bullet and go back to scale again with the bars unhooked to get all the right weights. Was just hoping that most of the original front truck weight back might be in the ballpark. I'm back to within the half inch or less on the front fender height and the back is around 1 1/2" lower than normal. It's a 2017 F-250 that normally sits high in the back anyway when unloaded and has their "softer" suspension but has the camper package. Truck and trailer are both sitting about level when hooked up. But I will weigh again just to make sure. Thanks again!

I was able to weigh my F-150 today with everything being taking on an upcoming trip at 6,720 pounds and then the truck and TT together at 13,740 pounds. Am I okay to assume the trailer weight is the difference (13,740 - 6.720 = 7,020)? This was done at the local solid waste facility, and their scale only delivers total weights, not per axle.

Yes. Just for overall GTW.
When I made my trip to the CAT scales, I made sure I talked to the scale master first and explained I would do a reweigh. Reweighs are only a couple $$. I got each axle weighed, with & without the load bars attached. Didn’t get a tongue weight though ;(
