Does the Trailer Need to be Level and Parked on Level Ground to Use e99044 Tongue Weight Scale

Question:

Mike, When you say the trailer should be level to the ground, when using the Sherline Trailer Tongue Weight Scale # 5780, do you mean it should be Horizontal? Or, do you mean it has to be on level ground to be accurately weighed? My trailer rests on a slight slope so I have to raise the front end higher than the back end to get the trailer truly level. When parallel to the ground the trailer is actually not level. Help! Thanks.

You will want the trailer to be on level ground and level (parallel) with the level ground to use the etrailer Tongue Weight Scale for Campers and Utility Trailers # e99044.

You may have to go to an empty parking lot or a different street to get more level ground. Otherwise the reading will not be accurate.
