I used the Sherline scale to measure the weight on the frame by each tire (The scale was place right behind the axle).
My TM 2619 was loaded with gear and supplies, 20 gal water tank full, hot water heater full, fridge empty, toilet empty. The tires, rims, and brake assembly are also included in the results.
2007 TM 2619 Tire Load
1800lbs - Driver's Side; 1600lbs (Driver's Side - No Water)
1600lbs - Passenger Side
Because I measured one side of the TM at a time, I'm not going to say that simply added these two numbers together equals an exact axle weight. But it does approximate what load each tire is carrying (minus the weight of the tire and rim/wheel: 50lbs).
For those with 14" Load C tires rated at 1860lbs, you can clearly see your limitations on the driver's side with full water. Add a full fridge and charged toilet and the tire is at 100%. For those with the optional 40 gallon water tank - carrying the 40 gallons will exceed the 14" tire's limitation of 1860lbs.
