We use portable scales, and drive the coach onto them, two wheels at a
time. We usually do this at a GMCWS rally. It is quite an eye opener to see
some of these coaches, and the weight difference between sides.
Some are easy to correct, others not so much. Just moving a battery
box from one side to the other, is one of the easier ways. Taking the
"spare parts" and moving them from side to side helps. Things like taking
the house batteries that are in the generator compartment, and moving them
is more difficult. Replacing high amperage demands of the coach, by getting
rid of appliances that use lots of current, trading incandescent lighting
with LED's.
This allows for changing out large, heavy generators for smaller,
lighter more efficient ones. Solar panels are another consideration. The
list goes on, but you get the idea. Start with weighing the coach, then
figure out how to go from there. Hope you get the idea.
