I hauled a load of construction debris to the dump early yesterday with my surbuban and trailer.

When I paid the young college student( she was studying between customers) I asked if it wold be possible to weigh a small motorhome if I brought it by when she wasn't so busy.

She said bring it by at 2:30 when the dump closed for the day and we could give it a try.

This would have never been possible in Orange or San Diego Counties where I used to live. Dumps are too busy and everyone has "Ain't my job" attitudes.

She didn't charge me for the weigh-in so I contributed $8 to her college fund.

I don't know how accurate the scale is or if it matters but here's what we got:

Total---11400

Passenger front --1780- I was out of the coach for this weight only.

Driver front---1900

add +/- 170 =50 lb difference

Passenger rear--3560

Driver rear--3660

My 76 Palm Beach has one ac- two fantastic vents--roof pod- 4 extra cabinets 2-over the dinette and 2 over the bunk.

Estimate 25 gallons of fuel- 15 gallons of water- black tank empty.

Less than 100 lbs of tools, clothing, books and misc stuff on board.

If "Knowledge is power" how do I use my new power to improve the drivability/steering of the coach?

Are these( seem minor to me) side to side weight differences significant?
