I found cat scale records from two different dates.
11-8-2010
steer axle 12240 lbs
drive axle 23380 lbs
tag axle 14980 lbs total 50600 lbs
4-19-2017
steer axle 11140 lbs
drive axle 29820 lbs
tag axle 10820 lbs total 51780.
Difference steer 1100 lbs
Difference Drive 6440 lbs
Difference tag 4160 lbs
These measurements were made with the trailer hitched. I know that there would have been more tongue weight on the trailer on the last weighing by about 400 lbs. Not sure of the tag axle dragging issue in 2010 but looks like at present I could afford to put more weight on the tag which would put more on the front. The coach should have had full fuel and water tanks when weighed. Another point to consider might be that I had a bad air leak, not sure if that would effect the tag braking.
The 2010 date I don't think I had the Anderson weight distribution hitch installed yet, but it was at the 2017 weighing. Currently I am thinking about not using the weight distribution hitch and add a bit more air but not sure how much. Suggestions??
