Tongue Weight scale

**dewdev** · February 9

I am in the market to buy a scale to measure my RV tongue weight.

What has others bought and are you happy with it?

Thanks

I just purchased this tool. Don't know how to test for accuracy, but it seems to work well. It's well made, small and easy to carry and use. Problem I see is you really need to know tongue weight divided by trailer weight to see if you are in the 10-15% range.

I also purchased the Shoreline Tongue Weight Scale. It works well and appears to be reasonable accurate. I also weighed our TV and LEII on a CAT scale and computed the tongue weight. The tongue weight reported by the Shoreline scale and the computed weight from the CAT scale were reasonably close, ~500 lbs. I have only measured our tongue weight once with the scale. Unless you make a significant modification or change how you load the trailer, I would not expect the tongue weight to vary much.

Given the low frequency of use, I would try to borrow one from a friend, or perhaps rent a tongue weight scale, if one can be found.

Correction: The tongue weight scale is Sherline, NOT Shoreline. despite what auto-correct thinks.

I have this and it works great. Lots of options, comparable to Anderson products. If interested, they have a great weight distribution system that works in tandem with the tongue weight scale as well. It takes the guess work out of weight distribution by utilizing an app and tongue weight scale to help adjust to proper tongue weight.
