- How To Weigh Your RV [Dangerous Trailer Weight!]
We bought a vandalized 5th wheel trailer, added a LOT of heavy stuff to it, traveled across the country... and never weighed it. Bad. Very bad. Potentially very dangerous. We did not know how to weigh our RV and frankly, were intimidated by the prospect.
Before you buy an RV! • RV Hacks | 10 Things Y...
Well... it was time. We finally figured it out and want to make sure you are safe and know your numbers! You need to know things like your truck's tow capacity, the GVWR and GAWR for both your 5th wheel or trailer AND your truck and you must make sure you are within the manufacturer's limits. If you're too heavy, you run the risk of not only damaging your truck or trailer, but also of causing a serious accident. If you are intimidated and don't know how to weigh your RV, you've gotta watch this NOW and weigh your fifth wheel or travel trailer.
There are several ways to weigh your RV but the easiest is to use a CAT scale. It's fast, cheap and simple and there are 100's of CAT scales across the country to weigh your RV. There is a CAT scale app for both finding the nearest CAT scale and for weighing your vehicle. Don't be like us: know your trailer weight!

• How To Weigh Your RV [...
How much does your RV weigh? Or... have you even weighed it? 🤔
Thank you for the "heavy video" concerning overweight potential. You both seem to have fun being informative & humorous at the same time.
We are loading up at this time for weighing & will Czech out our safety margins,
Peace from Northern Arizona
Thanks Stanley!
Thank you for the info guys. God speed OTR
Our pleasure!
Another awesome video. Great way to break it down and make it easy to understand
Thank you ! Something we kept putting off doing !! We were 🍀 lucky ! Have you ever been to the weigh scale or truck gas stops ?
@@LyfeUntethered yes used them a bunch of times when moving from duty stations.
Thank you very much. I had the same problem coming back from Pennsylvania with a car I just bought it with the Ohio toll road system the guy behind me gave me cash
There ARE good people out there!
really think you'll be fine, we weighed our truck for registration, its a Mack hdt, truck alone weighs a little under 18k, our fifthwheel is a tri axle and rated for 18,500...and I sweat over everything we put in it.
Oh dang! Pretty sure you'll be fine no matter what you try to pull with that Mack!
The break down was informative. Thank you!!
Thank you Jomar! Have you weighed your RV yet ?
I don't know if it carries over to 5th wheels and travel trailers, but semi-trucks have to use what's called the Bridge Formula. Even though each of the axles of the trailer are rated at 20,000 pounds, you can legally only load them to 34,000 as a pair because they are close together (tandem).
I'm shopping around for a 5th wheel. If someone could clarify if it's the same, I'd be grateful.
theres a flow meter it goes on your hose measures gallons 20bucks love your videos your tips and information and fun sense of humor
hope to see you out on the road🙏🏻❤️🤙🏻
Oh my goodness!! haha thank you for the flow meter tip. We literally just wait for the water to run out!! Looking forward to meeting up with you as well!! What area are you currently in ?? - Leila
@@LyfeUntethered I’m in Porter Ranch California I’m preparing for a cross country trip ✌🏼
@@Markpatrickrich Excited for you!!! Safe Journeys. I know Porter Ranch! Windy!!
Class A 23,460. Just a thought, I don’t think you would ever have all the tanks full at the same time. Your portable water would be redistributed to your black and gray tanks. GREAT VIEDO!!!!
Oh yeah! Doh! Don't tell Leila - she'll make me do more stuff. That's heavy. Thanks! How do you like the class A? That's what I thought I wanted at first but changed my mind for our situation later.
@@LyfeUntethered we love our class A (Tiffin Open Road). We are on our first long trip. It is a 6 week (5 week work & 1 week vacation) trip. When we started the trip; we were going to boon-dock for a couple of days, that when I realized the water would be transferred from the one tank to the other two. 😃
@@civersen yes the things you "realize" as you go along! LOLS have you ever done any boon docking ?
@@LyfeUntethered we ended up staying at a Harvest Host the first night. That ended up being most “boom docking” we have done to date. We found a campsite at an Army Corps of Engineers Park for the other nights we thought we had to boom dock.
Me: 42' fifth wheel, 13,000# unloaded, 2500# cargo limit. Ford dually. In the last month I went from the Mexican border in south Texas to Charleston, SC, and back. I have never weighed the rig. Partially because the CAT Scales are always in a Truck Stop that intimidates the heck out of me. VERY helpful video, thank you!!
Good morning!!! 🌞 I (Leila) was you!!! Scared to go in to the truck stops! Once I did it it was easiest place ever to get gas!! The CAT scale was even easier!! Glad this was helpful!!! How was Mexico ?? Easy to get across the boarder ?? We’ve been wanting to go for a bit now. Where is your next trip? Dusky -Trevor insisted we get it’ glad we did
Our trailer is about 2000 lbs under weight. 😜 We also have a toy hauler but no toys. 👍
Looks like it’s time to get 2000 lbs worth of toys Salty!
@@LyfeUntethered I know, right?
Actually, just bought a Jeep for having fun!
We just went on our first trip in our rig. On the way back we realized there's a CAT scale about 5 minutes from our house. We plan to weigh it fully loaded as we leave for our next trip. Now we know how to do it... thanks to you, we now know how to do it (and have the app downloaded). Thanks!!
Let us know how it goes! How was your first trip?
Love your editing, the fast pace, useful information, the fun you have and the humor.
How about numbering your videos to make it easier to watch them in order? It helps to avoid questions that were already answered and just easier to follow along.
Don't pick your nose or scratch your.........you know. I'll be watching.
Evan's friend? What's up! I created a playlist for you to make it easy! It'll play every video, in order: ruclips.net/video/el_rB0Xq6cc/видео.html Also, you can go to any channel, click on the "VIDEOS" header near the left, then on the right, click "sort by" and select "oldest". All the best with your new adventures! Hit us up with any questions!
lol, cashier says you can’t have your camera recording but look up and you’ll see like 20 cameras recording you around the store 🤣
lol yep
what about your Pin weight?
You're going to laugh, but this video gave me anxiety until the end when you revealed the results. Glad you're traveling safely.
Life gives me anxiety. Every day. And I know what the end result will be.
My wife is always annoyed when I want to go across the scale; I think it's kind of fun. (Never been over weight).
haha! worth it! and well done!
