Side weights too.

DO NOT try corner weighing..... while it may work, and MIGHT not damage the scales...if they were damaged it would mess with a lot of others convenience.

"MOTORHOME
When weighing your motorhome, it must be completely on the scale and it is best if you position the steer axle (front wheels) of the motorhome on platform 1, and the drive axle or rear axle of the motorhome on platform 2. Platform 3 will likely be empty. 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.

If you are trying to weigh your Tag Axle Motorhome, please give us a call at 1-877-228-7225, ext 6 to get the correct weight."

Thanks Old Biscuit,

I found those in the link that someone sent.
Man, I guess I was due but people sure are quick and happy to jump on someone that makes a mistake no matter the reason. I have been taught

As I said, I had preconceived thoughts. I had weighted before and there was only one scales not the three. Thus my thought pattern.

I know now.

All I can say is...I retired from the military so I've been screwed with by a lot better! LOL!

I have thick skin when I deserve it.

Why don't you plan a trip sometime toward Livingston , TX and schedule a 4 corner weighing at the Escapees Club... that way there is no guessing and you'll see if you have any side to side issues. They also measure your height.

What about a coach with a tag? As I understand the process it does take two passes for a tag coach. Anyone confirm this process?

Depends on if you are pulling a toad or not.

Other then minor variation on steer you have your numbers. Next time just put the fronts on exit end and rear on big scale. I use the CAT like the big rigs as I have a 5er.

This one made me laugh, I was in the same situation. Last weekend pulled into a scale location. Nearly the same conversation. After the guy blew me off, because I now know I had no idea what I was talking about, I installed the app and figured it out. Easy peazy. Btw, realized I was well over weight and now upgrading my rig.

I thought I was an old pro my first time at a CAT scale too. I grew up on a farm and spent many summers driving grain truck. The grain elevator in our small town had a smaller scale that required us to axle weigh to get gross and tare on our larger rigs. I was certain the distance between the axles on my toad was throwing things off for some reason. Anyways, two trips around and a discussion with the attendant inside finally had me straightened out. It really is a simple process, I just had expectation bias based on a mostly unrelated previous experience.
