Weight Safety Reports

Fifth Wheel St.

Welcome to the premier self-help RV safety website providing the only 13 Point Weight Safety Report and answers how to weigh your RV and other towable vehicles. Fifth Wheel St. provides tow ratings and guides, web based and mobile app calculators, printable worksheets and reports for RV owners, outdoor recreationalists, farmers and ranchers to assist truck camper owners and all who tow fifth wheel or gooseneck trailers and conventional trailers such as travel trailers, boat trailers, utility trailers, horse trailers and stock trailers, and motorcoaches towing a car or trailer.

 

Step 1: Choose, print and provide answers on the appropriate worksheet.

Step 2: Weigh your vehicle with your trailer (RV) or other towable attached.

Step 3: Weigh your vehicle without your trailer (RV) or other towable attached.

Step 4: Enter the data from your worksheet into the RV Safety Report Calculator.

Step 5: Adjust load distribution and inflate tires per tire load inflation charts.

 

"One personal responsibility is knowing that the RV rig is overweight rather than being a potentially hazardous driver traveling down the road. Be responsible, know your rig's weight!"


Are you towing safely below the weight load ratings?

 

Ensure you're not one of the 56%!
RVSEF data indicates that 56% of all RVs on the road exceed one or more weight safety ratings.
