Our CAT scale measurements
On our trip to Indiana back in September, we stopped by a truck stop for the
sole purpose of using the CAT scale. I should mention that I was not able to
park the rig with each axle on separate scale pads. I think I would have to
pull through the scale backwards in order to park each axle on a separate pad.
Also, I did not take the time to unhook the WDH.
Our 2720SL had no water on board and nothing in any holding tank. Both
propane tanks are full or near full.
The SUV with the particular hitch that is installed in rated to tow 5,000 lbs and
500 lbs tongue weight.
CAT scale readings with both of us in the seats:
SUV = 6150 lbs
TM = 3320 lbs
Total = 9470 lbs
WDH brand unknown. It is a generic, old style with spring bars and chains to
the saddle brackets and rated to 10,000 lbs tow and 1,000 lbs tongue(overkill,
I know but got it cheap via Craigslist)(It is very heavy).
And for additional info; we averaged 14-15 MPG using 89 PON gas. SUV
has 5.7 L V8 with MDS.
Hope this helps.
