Just do a quick check pull on to the scales even with the speaker. Push the button and say it personnel weight. They say OK and then go the building and pick up your weight ticket.
You will have three weight
Front Axle
Rear Axle
Trailer Axle
Add the weight of the Front Axle and the Rear Axle you should be less than 10,000 pounds for F250. The amount over 10,000 pounds is the amount you are over your payload.
Look at the Silver Tag in the door jam the should max weights for the Front and Rear Axle. Compare those to your weight ticket Front and Rear axle weights and should be less.
Take Trucks Axle Weights and divided them in half and check your sidewalls on your tires for weight rating and ensure you under those ratings.
You should be under all three weights.
If you want to know your real pin weight you can disconnect and weight the truck without the RV attached and the difference with the RV hook up and Unhooked is the pin weight. That a nice to know the number but above weights are the important ones.

We’re sort of minimalists by nature... so that storage area only holds the necessities to level and safety roadside equipment. Thank you for your helpfulness - when we take it to be weighed - it is the total weight? The truck and trailer together?
