Here are my scale tickets since I have started using CAT scales.

Just started using a Sherline Tongue Weight Scale

Loaded tongue weight at the beginning of the current trip is 580 lbs. Full fresh water tank (30 gallons of water weigh 250 lbs). Empty black and gray tanks. Full 30 lb propane tanks (About 110 lbs). Full refrigerator. No tongue basket. No bumper attachments. Four AGM batteries. No solar. 

Here’s a spreadsheet that I scratched out this morning

“CAT” is a weight off the CAT scale ticket. 

“CAL’C” is a calculated weight 

“Sticker” is a weight off of the vehicle placard. 
 

“Owners Manual” is a weight out of the owners manual for my truck. 
 

I tow without a weight distribution hitch

I am very pleased with how the truck and trailer operate together at these weights.

I’ve posted this information for those who are interested in how other folks tow.
