I searched and found the same scales the DOT officers used when they pulled over the semi trucks and did spot weighing. They cost about $4,200 each back when I purchased them. Weighing each wheel position allowed you to give a total rv weight, a total axle weight or a each tire position weight, they all added up to the same when you figured it out. My last trailer, a 36 ft Mobile Suites weighed 1,200 lbs heavier on the kitchen side than the door side. If the trailer was not level, then the weights moved forward or back, depending on how the trailer was to increase the weights on a given tire on that heavy side. So having a tire overloaded was pretty easy unless you had more tire capacity than the extra weight produced. When the Mobile Suites first came out the 16 G tire was standard, but with many tires failing they increased to the 17 inch H with added capacity to help stop the blow tires from over loaded issues.
