All aluminum hard sided popup toy hauler

Wouldn't that be 295 +295 +130 =720 lbs?
Only half of the wheels weight was being applied to the scale because of the type of lever I was using.

I had a large brick at one end of the lever as a fulcrum, and my scale at the other end of the 2x6 lever 4ft away.

I the middle of the board was the tire pushing down. 50% of the tire weight was transferred to the ground through the brick, while the other half went through the scale, that's why I had to multiply by 2.

I learned that trick from another guy who was sharing his build log for a teardrop many years ago.
