Yes, the trailer axle weight was with just the trailer axle on the scale and my rear wheels just off of the scale. I had hoses, filters, cords, electrical adapters, sheets, towels, rugs, kitchenware, pots, a little canned food, a long handled Dust buster and probably 6 gal in the water heater. Add clothes and food and go.

If accurate, its perfect!

This is with just your trailer on the scales, right? Then it's a good measurement. That's real weight on the axle. 

I do a 3 way weight when I go. Truck / Truck & Trailer / Trailer. Doesn't cost me and they have fun doing it and awaiting my math in the lot afterwards. I do love my small town!

What did ya get? I took mine at lunch to the transfer station. They didn't have axle scales, just a single scale. They also didn't want to fool with me unhooking to weigh the pod separately. But I got a trailer axle weight of 2680 lbs.Combined with the best info I can get for my SUV, the pod weighs 2975 pounds and has 176 lbs of my "stuff" in it. All believable. This is its ready to go weight. Was yours similar?
