Hey Aaron! The Big Truck Big RV Tongue Weight Scale for Trailers with SnapPad Jack Stand Pad # BTBRV27FR uses a 323 gauge so the margin of error is 3%. The gauge on the scale displays weight in 50-lb increments up to 2,000 lbs. If you need a storage bag the Big Truck Big RV Accessories Bag # BTBRV002 is also available.

What kind of trailer do you have?

I have a utility trailer and like to check the tongue weight periodically to make sure we are properly loaded. I'm always changing what's in there. Thanks for the info I'll be picking one up shortly!

@Aaron definitely a good idea to check. Those can be a real pain to tow if they aren't properly loaded. If you need anything else don't hesitate to reach out.

Hello again Frank; tongue weight is typically 10-15% of your trailer weight. At 5,400 lbs you could go over the max 800 lb tongue weight of the #FA94-00-0800 but that probably isn't the case here. If you really want to be sure you could always…
