A great way to figure out your camper or trailer's tongue weight and the safe range for that weight is to use a CAT Certified Scale, located at many truck stops. Proper tongue weight is essential to help prevent dangerous trailer sway that can lead to a major crash, destroying your camper and even your tow vehicle. However, it can be a bit scary to roll up into an area you're not familiar with and use a piece of machinery you've never even seen up close. Follow along with me as I make my first foray into a local Love's truck stop and see how easy and quick it is to use a CAT scale. I also show you how to use the numbers generated to calculate your trailer or camper's true gross weight and get that all-important tongue weight.
