Calculating Tongue Weight

Post by silverloaf »

I came across an interesting method of measuring tongue weight using a bathroom scale. I suspect its been used by many savvy trailer owners; maybe some here.

It seems to be a simple way of periodically verifying tongue weight at home before heading off to the campground. Here's one example of the procedure:

Comments anyone?

Its a nifty way of measuring the tongue weight. I bought a Sherline scale, as I'm lazy :)
