BigRig,

I had mine scaled with totally full fuel and propane. I had no water in the rear-fresh-tank and no load in the garage, both of which would reduce the front-end-load. I scaled at 12,200lbs on the front axle.

I asked the guy that did my alignment and ride height adjustments (a local specialty truck frame shop) and he said that was insignificant. And he agreed that it would not be that way when I added 100gal of fresh water and bike or 2 in the garage hanging out over the rear axles.

He said to make sure your tires are up to the load, then your wheels, then your springs. But within a 5% margin - it really isn’t much to worry about in an RV application.

That’s the conversation that I had for what its worth?
