The specialized wheel position weighing service will again be offered for Grand Design owners attending the rally. The RV Safety Education Foundation (RVSEF) has offered this is the GOLD standard service for weighing RVs for over 30 years. The cost is $70 (credit cards, apple pay, cash or check). We are making arrival appointments to be weighed as you arrive and before you check-in to the rally. We will also be at the rally to make departure day weighing appointments.
After weighing you'll receive a comprehensive report of the individual wheel weights, axle weights, pin or tongue weight and percentage, gross vehicle weights for both your truck and trailer or your motorhome, and any warnings of over-weight conditions for tires, axles, hitch, GVWR and GCWR. You will receive tire pressure recommendations based on your individual weights and the tire load inflation tables for your specific tires. With this information, along with our presentation on RV Weight and Tire Safety, you will learn a lot about how to safely travel within the weight safety limitations that are established by the manufacturer of your truck and RV trailer, or motorhome.
MAKE MY WEIGHING APPOINTMENT
RV weighing location at the Goshen 4H Fairgrounds
As you arrive at the fairgrounds, enter through gate 3 to get weighed. Once we have weighed your rig then proceed up the hill to gate 7 to check in to the rally. They will escort you to your site to unhitch. If you are towing a travel trailer or fifth wheel trailer, immediately after unhitching (before setting up), please return to the weigh site with all cargo and passengers still in the truck so that we can weigh your truck again without the trailer attached. (it only takes us 2 minutes). The difference between the two truck weights is needed to determine the pin or tongue weight of the trailer. After we weigh the unhitched truck, you can return to your campsite and set up your RV for the rally and start having fun!
You can pick up your weight reports at the RVSEF booth during the rally.
