All wheel rv weigh in Northern CA

June 12, 2020, 01:00:47 am

Is there anyone who is in Northern CA that does individual wheel rv weighing? The only option seems to be a CAT scale.

Any help is appreciated!

I was told that places that work with race cars do 4 wheel weight for them and will do our RVs also.
I didn't follow that up because I was told that by a neighbor right after I had driven to do a 4 wheel weight.
Try calling around for race car repair shops and let us know if they do that service.

Henderson's Line-up is in Grant's Pass, OR, not far from the OR-CA line. They do individual weighing of all 4 wheels, plus check front and rear alignment, steering and suspension components, handling quality, tires, etc., basically anything affecting your ride and handling. I HIGHLY recommend them.

One can check with local RV service shops, but as far as I know, there are no four-wheel weighing services in the Bay Area.

Big RV events, e.g., Escapees, FMCA, etc., often offer four-wheel weighing services (from RV Safety, RV Weigh, etc.), but those events are not on the docket at this point.

Oregon also has open and accessible weight pads along several major roads; depending on how accessible the pad is and how much space there is to maneuver, one can spend a half hour or so backing and forthing and side-to-side-ing the rig to get weights at all four corners. But, as Ken suggests, if it's convenient at all, Henderson's in Grants Pass offers four-corner weighing. (I don't know what they charge now.) Brazel's in Centralia, WA, might also, and Redlands Truck and RV in Redlands, CA might, also; one can call them to find out.

As always, YMMV.

To add to what Joan said: the Escapee Park in Congress AZ does 4 Wheel weigh but limited hours each week (mornings M-F when we went, I don’t know if they do that at any other RV parks.

"Henderson's Line-up is in Grant's Pass, OR, not far from the OR-CA line."

I'm going to jump in here with a slightly off topic remark and because I can't pass up a chance to say a good word on behalf of Henderson's Line-up!

When my rig ('04) was just past brand-new I took it to Henderson's for a four corner weight check and it's very first alignment.

Now I presume most of you are familiar with front end alignments but have you ever heard anything about rear end alignments? That is the situation I encountered at Henderson's, they said that before they could perform the alignment on the front they would have to do the same for the rear! On the 30' LD, when the frame is stretched, it may throw the rear out of alignment. Henderson's speculated that LD did not tighten and torque the 'U' bolts after the framework was complete. I have been so grateful to them ever since. Their skill and expertise probably helped me avert a disaster.

I have gone back to Henderson's several times since then and have always found the work professional and the personnel knowledgeable and courteous.
