Anyone know of an RV scale in Washington, Idaho or Oregon? One that can weigh each tire separately?

Oregon leaves many of their scales on when not weighing trucks. For some, you can place one wheel or one axle on the scale and look in the window to get the results. Not a perfect weigh but you get a good idea.

If you search or check for certified scales, you will probably find places you may not thought of. I use the scale at a nearby farm feed store. You can get individual wheel weights by first weighing one side, then turning around and weigh the other side.

There's a truck scale just outside the North side of Walla Walla, Wa, on Hwy 12 heading to Lewiston, Id. It is hardly ever being used and you can look in the window and read the scale. Plenty of room to maneuver a truck and trailer for various weight readings.

There is a Cat certified scale in Pasco off 395. They charge of course, but you can do the individual wheel/axle weights and more. Closest place to your Finley location.

As mentioned, the state scales also are available to weigh if closed. The scales are always on. We have used ones in WA & OR to check basic weights. You could do separate weights fairly easily, if there isn't a truck behind you to check if he is over weight!!!!

Didn't think CAT did individual wheels.

I had a 4 wheel weight done when I had my rig at the alignment shop. Of course, I didn't realize they'd charge me $50 to do it. But at least I know what it is now

CAT scales don't want anyone doing individual wheel weights as they often build poles for the signs and intercom that interfere with positioning half way off the scale on one side and/or the other. If you damage anything, be prepared to pay for it.

From their website:

Please note: Our scales can give you axle weights and a total gross weight, however, they cannot weigh each corner of the vehicle. We cannot provide individual wheel weights and, to prevent damage to your vehicle as well as our scales, do not allow that type of weighing.

I stand corrected!!!!

There's a Pilot truck stop south of Olympia on I-5 with a CAT scale. We recently weighed our Creekside 23BHS. It weighs the truck front axle, truck rear axle, and both axles on the Trailer. It even totals them up for your combined weight. I think the cost was 8 bucks and only took a few minutes.
