Thanks for the reply! The trailer is currently empty, the only things in in it besides what is screwed down are the cushions. I will crawl back under it and see if I can get any info on the axles and as you said, check out where the trailing arm sets as well. Hopefully I can locate some specs on...

Thanks for the idea and information Jack. I know I want to raise my axle, and I hadn't really thought about the possibility of it being off a little bit on the frame. I guess I will get the interior rehab completed and then weigh the tongue and go from there. I figure I will be raising it a...

N00B, your thinking is correct regarding the weight limit, and Jack did an excellent job explaining everything. As Jack mentioned, don't forget to factor in everything. As in anything you plan to put in your truck box, i.e. bicycles, chairs, coolers, leveling boards, etc. as well as the...

Here is the app video.

Here is good video on the process. On the website it also explains the App in a video on the CAT homepage.

https://catscale.com/how-to-weigh/ The easiest overall would be with the CAT app. You basically open the app, pull on the scale, enter the CAT scale number on the intercom, pay with the app, the app shows your axle weights, save, and you drive away. Simple and quick.

You could do any scale really, like a private scale at a manufacturing plant, or at a recycling dump location, or something like a milk plant, if they allow it. Most don't want to be bothered (even less than truckers.) And most CAT scales at truck stops, the truckers are pretty good about it...

Yes, that would be a load on the Tundra! I have looked at trailer tongue scales, and it really would be a good investment. That is great that you figured out your weight issue and was able to correct it. I am tossing around the idea of raising my trailer and it would be smart to make sure the...

The perk of getting the paper copy is most CAT scales tickets have a plastic "collector's card" attached to it. Also, there is always "something" that you need in the store. :) Also, around mid-day and mid-afternoon is a good time. Later in the day truck traffic really increases and sometimes...

You can. At most truck stops just park on the scale and make sure the front axles is on the front scale and the rear axle is on the second scale (2nd section). That will give you 2 weights. Then you call them on the intercom located near your driver's door, they will weigh you, and then tell...

Overloaded? Thanks Jack! Yes, you don't have to travel very far or very long to see something like this. I wonder how the trip turned out for them? I should have circled them and got a better picture, but I didn't.

My take on it, which may or may not be correct is this. You can load your front axle up 4,134 pounds. Or you can load your rear axle up to 4,960 pounds, BUT you can NOT exceed 8,532 pounds combined. So, whatever your front axle weighs in at while you are loaded, full fuel, all passengers...

I did see the 29' posted as well. Both look pretty good in the pictures. Have fun doing the research and planning. It looks like either one would work well for you and get you into the elite HiLo club. :) (I would offer to go check them out for you, but they are about 3 hours from me.) I...

Hi Oneros, you have probably already figured out your plan of action, but for a quick (although dusty) fix, I would probably spackle the area and sand smooth. Prime with a good primer/blocker to prevent any bleed-through from the previous leak.

Welcome to the forum. Not sure how far you would travel but here is a 31' in Marathon City, WI. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/660573278935837/

When the snow is waist deep up here in the Northland, I spend a lot of time reading old threads and figuring out new improvements. The following thread by Marininn got me thinking and actually doing some calculations on my camper. https://www.hilotrailerforum.com/f24/stuck-torsion-axles-6000/...

Thanks, I did find the specs in a brochure in my paperwork. Since the brochure came with the camper I figure it covers the models around 2007.

Welcome to the forum! A lot of great info here, and helpful people!

I was visiting my dad a few weeks ago in southwest Wisconsin and we went for a drive on some back roads near his home. I spotted this gem is a small clearing near the road. Also found this article from 1969 while searching for more information. (Clickable link below.) Pop-up Camper History

Thanks 'oldcarguy', I will sure use and appreciate any info you want to share with me. I will be removing the inside walls in the front half and maybe all the way back to the bathroom if need be. I will also have to study the original brochures that I have with my 2307C and compare the specs...

Thanks for the info Usagi5678! That does make sense. I am sure I will be reaching out on this forum for help once I start to get into the bones of the upper half.

Hi, Recently purchased a 2307C and I have been reading for hours, days, and weeks all of the different areas of the this HiLo forum. (Thanks to everyone for all the valuable information that I have already gleaned from this sight. As soon as I get some more insulation in my shop, I plan to...
