RV weight?

[88Shasta]

I have a 1988 Sportscoach (Shasta) MH 30 feet with a 454 Chevy...

How much does this weigh? Front and rear?
I'm looking to buy jack stand and a jack to carry the weight properly.

Thanks for helping.

You would need to take the RV to a public scale and have it weighed.

What are these scales called?
Would a 6 ton jack be sufficient or should I consider a 12 ton?

Most truck stops have scales, as do many sand & gravel yards, some moving and storage places, and places that sell bulk fertilizers.

At a guess, the front axle on that coach is probably rated at around 5500 lbs and the rear at around 14,000. If you choose jacks that exceed that by a decent safety margin, you are probably ok.

I got my first motor home weight at the dump. Many charge independent haulers by the pound. They get weighed going in and again going out.

Many truck stops long major freeways have sales. Costs run from $7.50 to $15.00
