Thanks!

I purchased one several years ago and have no regrets. You say one time use, do you load your camper the exact same way each time? Remember that loading past the axles reduces tongue wt. and can have as much effect as loading forward of the axles. I don't use it every time but it does give me good loading info if I'm taking fresh water with us or stocking up extra stores and clothing for an extended trip.
