Since the local dump makes money based on the weight of your load, are you sure the scales are certified? Truck stops and gravel pits and quarries, usually have cerified scales. But,.....it is hard to turn down a free scales , at the dump. Good Luck. Bill Scott 61 Bambi, VAC & WBCCI #3221 1VP & Membership Chairman , WDCU http://www.servintfree.net/wbcci-dc/
Bill- I'll re-weigh both things when I get to the scale. The local dump said they would let me use theirs free of charge. My plan was to tread lightly... thanks again for your recommendations.

You need to re-weigh your coach, dry,(empty all tanks, and discard all rocks) Check all your storage bins and get rid of all that ballast. Carry the spare in the T100. Since your coach has already had frame problems, you know the previous owners overloaded it, and/or drove it hard, and on rough roads. Take the attitude I take when hiking in the Sierras, 1.) Less is more. 2) Carry light weight cooking gear. 3) Never travel with your black tank full. 4) Try to load your coach with the weights as low as possible. 5) Travel with your fresh water tank almost empty, unless you are going into the desert where you will need the water. Think like Charles Lindburg, no radio, and no extra frills, so he could carry more gasoline, and make it to Paris. Then when you re-weigh your coach, the new weight, without those equalizer bars, and unhooked from your tow vehicle will tell the truth.
