Just kicking ideas around at the moment so I'm happy to hear other people's ideas.

Surely the all up weight will be more than 400kg's - how will your weighing devices work? :confused:
I have tried using up market bathroom scales before but could not find any that went above 120kg's so was unable to do corner weights :mad:

You could buy two identical 120 kg bathroom scales and balance the weight between them with a plank. Raise the remaining 4 wheels to the same height as the top of the scales, and you should be able to weigh each corner in turn.

Oops sorry Andy, but it was a good point well made mate;) . I made a tryping error, my weighing devices can measure up to 1000KGs per wheel not 100:D .

I blame the beer:D

This is the unit I use:

Caravan/Motorhome Weight Control

Avoid getting caught overloaded with this very reasonably priced device, it can weigh up to 1000kg per wheel. Very simple to use device just weigh each wheel individually and this device can give you your total weight. Larger version due out next year weighing up to 1500kg per wheel.

£130.29 inc VAT plus P&P

Duh, the picture hasn't been copied over. you can see the unit on my main website at www.davenewell.co.uk then click on "mail order" from the left hand menu and scroll down to "caravan weigher"

Weighing on a budget
 
If you want a rough idea of your corner weights, here's the lo-cost solution ;)

Basic bathroom scales

4 of these would give you individual corner weights of up to 150kg per wheel .... Less than £40 .... Now that's lo-cost :D :D
