How do most of you go about getting your weights? I have only weighed hooked up. I am planning on finding out my pin weight this year when we get all stocked up again, but I was wondering if there is some combination to do without having to unhook? I planned on weighing everything, then moving out of the way and unhooking then weighing just the truck. Is that what has to be done?
If you are interested in your pin weight you will need to know the weight of you truck ready to camp and the 5er ready to camp and truck together. I use a older truck weight but I weight once a year to insure that I'm under GVWR, Axle, combine ratins and Tire ratings.

I'm in the camp that thinks that few pounds won't break the truck in half but I'm also in the camp of not wanting to exceed truck specs due to lot lawyers are now starting to advertise for lawsuits against RVers. I fund most my retirement and don't want someone else to enjoy the fruits of my work.
