Weight Calculations
Hello,
I mainly want to get an overall weight (GCWR?), an idea of how much cargo I carry in the camper and total truck payload when towing with family.
I just bought a new camper so I was thinking of hitting a Cat scale, weighing the truck empty, weighing the truck with my gear that will be going into the camper, weighing my truck with what/who I normally carry in the truck on a camping trip, then finally coming back to the scale with my camper and truck loaded up for a trip.
I'm assuming with the above numbers I can do the math for a rough camper dry weight, rough tongue weight (at least how much load is on the truck between tongue and WD) as well as an overall ready to camp weight, GCWR.
Does that sound reasonable?
Thanks,
Gunrock
