This is a good idea.
I have owned one for several years and use it off & on. When we took delivery of our current TT the weight data sheet had my delivered tongue weight at 580#. While doing our PDI I used it and low-and-behold my Sherline was reading 580#!
Kudos to Grand Design for getting the tongue weight correct on the data sheet and kudos to the Sherline tongue weight scale.2010 Tundra SR5 DC 5.7L 4x4

Yes it is a great idea, and I will add that one should bring it along and check the TW for the return trip. This can be a real eye opener.
Unlike most other trailer types, TTs TW can vary a lot in the course of a trip. Especially if you boondock. Items can move around the unit or disappear as they are consumed. Food, water,propane,beverages, clothing etc. Depending on your usage and your TTs design, this can make little difference... Or a lot.2021 398M Full Body Paint 8k axles. LRH tires. Disc brakes.

2dillpunk I'll admit I did not read all the posts but I do hope someone mentioned to get your new setup weighed at the CAT scale when you are fully loaded for your camping adventure. It costs $12 and will give you peace of mind if you still have any doubts after running your numbers. Also note that in all likelihood your RV will get heavier as time goes by. New bikes, outdoor cooking setup, new more comfortable and heavy chairs etc. It just happens to all of us. Congrats on you rig and safe travels!!!2020 Solitude 372WB
