PICS or it Didn't Happen...!!
The weather finally cooled off a bit and was supposed to only be in the low hundreds 
so I got the camper loaded and the boat hooked up and headed off to the CAT scales.
Here is the camper and truck only before the air bags:
Here it is after the airbags:
Not that fair of an assessment as one is on a level surface and the other is not, but if you look at the wheel well clearance you can see a difference.
And here it is at the weigh station....sorry but every body really needed a bath, but with it being monsoon season I wasn't about to wash it
Anybody interested in what all this stuff weighs???

My dainty frame only accounts for 200lbs....
But I typically do not sit in the vehicle when it gets weighed...can't reach the stupid call button

Ok, here is the truck and boat, with the boat disconnected on third pad.
Wanted to get an empty weight on the truck so I could do the math to get the camper weight.
And here is the weight with camper and boat, boat on third pad connected, with 60 psi in the bags...used spirit level on the axles of the boat to make sure we get BOTH axles running on the ground
Did try 75 and 90psi but only shifted 20 pounds to the rear axle.
So it looks like the Truck is 7600lbs, the boat is 4060lbs and the camper is 3020lbs...
Now this is unloaded but it gives me a good start on where I am at, and will adjust accordingly when I load it. Usually put the heavy stuff in the boat over the rear axles. The rest of stuff is just clothes and booze...
oh forgot food too!
