[A/S] Actual weight.

["Terry Tyler" <tylerbears@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Bob, 

You asked: Has anybody actually weighed their AS at a "truck scale"?

Yes, our Airstreams are weighed each year, but not at a "truck scale."

We've had them weighed by an organization called "A'Weigh We Go." They specialize in weighing RVs at
annual RV rallies. You can get their schedule by calling them directly at (423) 257-7985. 

"A'Weigh We Go" provides an informative, insightful and free two hour seminar. At each of the two
rallies, I was one of hundreds of RV owners at their seminar. The free handouts specify specific PSI
recommendations for specific tires carrying specific weights. If you call about their schedule, you
might want to ask for the handouts and offer to pay the postage. 

Here's my data for the last two years: 

Same truck each year
