Many truck drivers frequently get split weights on tandem axles on a regular CAT scale. You have to let the scale operator know that you are going to need multiple readings, and you will be moving the rig between weights. Pull just the front tires onto the scale, stop, and tell the operator you are ready for your first weight. When they tell you they have it, pull forward until the front axle of your rear tandems is on the scale but the back axle is still on the concrete. Get another weight. When the operator confirms they have it, pull forward until all of the axles are on the scale and get the last weight. When you get your scale ticket, it will have three separate axle weights. With some basic addition and subtraction, you can figure out each axle weight. If you have 3 axles, it will take three weighings. For a 2-axle rig, it only takes 2. One problem that happens too often is that a new employee may not know how to do individual split pad weights, so you have to find someone who knows. If no one knows how to do it, you can still get the weights. First, put just the front axles on the scale. Get the weight, then drive completely off of the scale. Then drive around and pull back on the scale with the front axle and the front tandem axle on the scale. Get another weight. Drive completely off the scale again, then drive around and pull back on and weigh again with all the axles on. (You have to pull all the way off for the scale to "reset.") Again, basic math will give you all your individual axle weights. You will have to pay the "re-weigh" fee for the 2nd and 3rd weighs, but that is usually just a couple dollars each. I have done this process over a hundred times in 18-wheelers because I was "heavy haul" with 8 axles instead of the normal 5. It is very easy to do after you've done it a few times.

Thank you, gents...thanks to your advice I bought my VIAIR compressor right after buying my rig and recently got the Snap-Ring covers which are great. I understand the reason for corner weights, but it's challenging to get those weights so I use the Truck Stop scales as the next best thing. Great video!

Another GREAT VISEO about something that is really important but most RV’ers don’t think much about. Hopefully they’ll download the e-book… Got mine already and have learned quite a lot already-Thanks

Thank you for these wonderful tips. We'll start sending your channel to our clients who recently bought land from us near the camping areas. This will surely help them for their life in an RV 😊

Thank you for doing this. Downloaded and read it. Great job. My opinion is it’s better to weigh at a truck stop than nothing and get a ballpark weight, it’s so much easier. Then follow the inflation steps. I also try to get the pressure reading the day before a trip, it can take some time to get a tire filled and you might not have it the day of travel.

Great video. Complete guide is an understatement. Thanks

Thank you for sharing all your learnings and wisdom with all of us.

Fantastic video and great learning!

Good Stuff,Great Tips😄👍🏿

Thanks for the video

good information. Tire Pressure is very important.

Another fantastic video. I was wondering when you guys were gonna upload a new video.

Thank you!

Where o where have you guys been???? Been two years since I last saw you. Hope all's well and one day to cross paths again.

Set mine to handle just below max load and monitor accordingly. Air pressure vs axle weight is what professional truck drivers have used for years.

What makes me laugh, is some people will actually let air out when the tires heat up. They just don't understand "cold" pressure.

As always… A GREAT VIDEO. Most individuals don’t understand the importance of tire pressure. Hopefully once they’ve seen this video it’ll be taken more seriously and they get you e-book. You guys are the best, always excited to see your new videos when they come out.

Thanks as always you guys are informative! Too bad I just bought those tire covers!

Hey guys! Saw you at the campground in Madison, WI tonight (7/11/22). Didn’t want to bother but did wave to John as we drove by in our car. He was in the cockpit doing something. Enjoy the newsletter, TV and following KZfaq. Keep up the great work!

Stop complicating my tire life with expectations beyond the door panel of my Class C!!! LOL Also very upset I missed this video and missed out on the Viair Giveaway. Been thinking about it a lot recently, since putting a heavier duty compressor in my storage bay caused it to sag. I looked into the Viair before and felt I couldn't justify the expense. Lesson learned, I'll be setting aside some pennies to purchase one in the future. Because having the ability to inflate a tire, if it can be repaired with a plug, is a DEFINITE necessity!

Always great info to share. I wish I had somewhere locally that could weigh each tire. (Calif bay area)

Where y’all been? Been missing your vids!

I have a question , what is the model number of the accutire pressure gauge you are using in this video ? Thank you for the information

Did you ever post the documentary from the ballon festival last year? We was on the ride with you

What are your thoughts on Nitrogen v Air. I prefer nitrogen, but carry a compressor for back-up/emergencies. Great to see you back.

What's the air pressure for a 1998 Fleetwood bounder with out slide out ?

I have been super frustrated trying to find a place to property weigh my RV according to your instructions on getting position weights. The places I found that do this are few and far between, and are states away from where I live. I've called many RV sales and service places (who don't seem know what I'm talking about, even Camping World), and also called the organizer of the annual NC RV convention. No luck. What is the second best approach to ensuring proper inflation when it's just not possible to get each tire weighed? I love your blog - thank you!!

Hi, how can I contact you about the product sponsorship?

I was trying to download/save as .pdf which doesn't work, as often I'm in locations with no wifi or cell coverage, so obviously saving the link won't be of much help if on the road in some locations. As far as I've read so far, I haven't come to a point in the book where one can find the portable scales (can you rent them?) or if specific portable scales are more accurate than others? Same goes with the Michelin tire choices, as I believe my particular Michelin tires are not made any more, so getting close I suppose is the best I can do. Much has changed over the years, and even finding tires for Motorhomes can be a challenge, especially here in south-western Canada. Often other brands are available, being one of the only options. Onto the same initial subject, the availability on the road or in locations far from cities towns creates an issue on 'tire information' which is so very important as mentioned, so I'll just have to cross my fingers that the situation doesn't appear. Thanks for the video, and often I go by my TPMS as to what my tired pressure is...but did order the Accurate gauge you advised on the e-book! Upon edit- Having XZA3+ going by the manufacturers inflation chart, I'm 'over' on my PSI (front) by 5 lbs, so I'll change that, but I can only go by guessing to some extent, as our Tiffin Phaeton has only been weight, front to rear, and I have no clue as to where a portable scale might be. I looked up at 'buying one' and they must be expensive, as they won't even show the price!

I have subscribed but can't find the tire pressure /inflation guide

How do you sing up for your give-away? Just by subscribing?

You don't seem like a scammer, but when i went to the website my gutpunch reaction was 'ive been had'. That countdown banner is a LITTLE close in resemblance to those 'LOSE WEIGHT WITHOUT MOVING WITH OUR FREE PROGRAM THAT NEEDS A CREDIT CARD JUST TO VERIFY YOUR AGE' lol

Where have you guys been?

👍🇨🇦

Always look forward to your videos. However, I wished you would post more videos. As a gay man, I look forward to RV videos that feature the lgbt community. My best to you both!
