Truck's tare weight is ~6700lbs
King I went to a CAT scale and they charged me 9 bucks to weigh the truck then re-weigh the truck and camper. 1 time is 8 bucks.
I had a tire come off my camper and all 6 lugs broke the camper is 3 months old so I wanted proff that I was not over loaded! That's why I did it but I always wanted to know.

If you want some documentation though like daimon says use a Cat scale at a truck stop.

If we're just wastin' space:
Here are my numbers in pounds (for all you metrically challenged):
GVWR: 11,200
Truck: 6720
Camper: 3440
Total: 10,160
FAWR: 4250
Actual: 3880
RAWR: 8250
Actual: 6440
The axle weights above are the posted maximums and the "actual" load on the axles with the camper on the truck.
The truck was weighed at a commercial scale with a full tank of fuel, and the camper was fully loaded (except for the normal stuff that's kept in the 'frig), and both holding tanks were full (water only). I didn't fill the domestic water tank as we only travel with enough for emergency toilet use.
With a total weight of 10,160 and a GVWR rating of 11,200, I'm left with 1040lb to spare.
I think you need to find a scale that is large enough to weigh the whole truck. weighing axles and adding the results will give you a false reading.
The scale I went to normally weighs gravel trucks and trailers to determine how much product is being sold. They charged me $14CDN and supplied a copy of the scale ticket showing all the weights for me to carry in the truck.
