air scales on trailer

I recently went from a standard air gauge to a Right Weigh. Both will work but the Right Weigh is nice.

 

I got the right weigh also. I feel it's accurate with couple hundred pounds. Got the digital guage inside the truck for the drive axles and feel it's more accurate. Probably within a 100 pds

 

For small sleeper size, look at the next H.O.Wolding truck you see. Most have just a bunk for a sleeper. They give you the option of seatbelting the fridge into the passenger seat or having the seat removed & stored the home base.

 

I have a Teltek in the cab and it seems to be accurate within a couple hundred pounds as stated above. Always on the money. I've had it for over ten years and would never trade it for any other. On the trailer I have a right weigh and I guess it's ok. You always have an idea of what's on your trailer but whenever I check the right weigh, it's always saying something way different from what I believe it should be.

 

Ict sleepers start at 96" which is just over factory KW studio 86" sleeper.

Just remember " Bigger is always better"

 

a cheaper and just as accurate way to weigh your truck and trailer is to simply plumb a schrader valve into each air bag system. read it with a very nice tire pressure gauge. weigh the truck at a cat scale, weigh with your tire gauge.record the pressures. you will be able to come up with "the magic number" . example, 1 lbs. of air on your air bag = xxx lbs. of weight. After a couple of times you will be able to weigh your truck with just this method.. very cheap, very accurate and reliable. hope this helps. johnny
