Not on the backroads...

At the CAT on 101 down near Paso Robles somewhere. Tons of truck stops have them; www.catscale.com. Costs $10 IIRC. Just pull onto the scales and use the call button to get the operator.

You can use places that sell stuff by the lb in big loads like scrap yards or building material places, but they don't always weigh by axle.

Re: How much does your van weigh?

Tried out a new public scale near Niter, ID. It was 10,641lbs with me in it, so it's about 10,456 without me.

My van weighed 9800 lbs with on-board tools, jacks, galley boxes, two Zamp Solar panels, 10 gallons of water, and me. It is a 2010 Diesel Ford E-350 RB-50 with Trojan Bumpers. I weighed it at the county landfill. The weight with two front wheels off the scale was about half of the 9800 lbs.

Mine too but...rear axle was 7860 = 3940 a wheel or more than the load rating of an E rated tire with a trailer hitched to it.

The problem is the 1300 lb hitch weight. So G rated tires 17.5s here I come !
