Steve:

I'm not sure where you live but out here in Washington state many of the WA DOT scales are available for RV weighing. When the sign says "closed" it is a weighing opportunity. Many of the scales leave the scale active and the weight display on and in recent experience the weight display was visible directly from the drivers seat out the front windshield. Very handy! I weigh almost every opportunity I get.

When hauling equipment trailers I have also weighed at commercial scales such as those that sell bulk feeds, etc and in some cases had to pay a small fee. Many have done it free and even provided a certified scale receipt. Some of the larger chain gas stations along the Interstates that cater to cross country truckers offer weighing for a small fee. They are out there just look for them.
