Safe CCC weight distribution judged by weighing only the front and rear axles may create a false sense of proper tire loading. Getting the weight of the four corners of your coach is the only secure measurement for safe loading on tires. Finding where to get this type of weighing is a problem if you are not at a rally.
At the past FMCA International Rally in Madison WI an exhibitor, Recreational Vehicle Safety & Education Foundation (RVSEF), provided four corner weighing. This is the organization that revealed the early RV industry overweight building practices. Now RV’s have more sensibly distributed dry weight and must now be equipped with a safety and weight label about cargo carrying capacity.

This is a resource if you are wondering about tire loading on your coach... particularly if you have the water tank in a bed slide-out.
The person I talked with was Shane Hess, email: jamishane06@hotmail.com. He indicated they had portable corner weighing scales at two locations, Florida and I think Arizona.
