RV Tow Check 4+

The app was referenced in an article about weighing at a CAT scale. The app doesn’t use hardly any of the numbers achieved during initial and recent-weighs.

It really didn’t tell me anything I didn’t already know from my TV owners manual about maximum trailer weights.

Sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with the RV Tow Check app. I would like to help better understand what the app is for and how to correctly use it. It is your responsibility to enter a minimum of four required weights: CGWR, GVWR, GVW and the TWR for at least the trailer classification you are considering. The app is not product of CAT Scales nor associated with the RV Tow Check. RV Tow Check's function is only to provide you a realistic vehicle towing capacity of your vehicle. If you were seeking realistic vehicle towing capacity for towing a conventional trailer, it is not uncommon the app results will be the same as the published TWR. However, in cases when the tow vehicles weigh much more than the published curb weight, a realistic TWR will be much less. I will gladly answer any questions when you email me at info@RVtowCheck.com.

If you understand vehicle weights this can save you some time. Tongue weight as a percentage of total weight needs to fall in the correct range. To me the cautions at the low tongue weight are easily misunderstood.
The red doesn’t mean they aren’t safe...it means your trailer may or may not be able to achieve a low tongue weight. Some can some can’t. The yellow means it is more likely you can reach that tongue percent but again, not all trailers can. The green just means it should be possible for any proper trailer to reach that tongue weight percent.
Maybe overly simplified but a pretty good warning to people too.
Thanks for the app.

Thank you for your 5-star rating and feedback. I will consider your excellent comments in the next app upgrade. If you ever have any questions, please contact me at https://rvtowcheck.com/contact_us.html.

My wife and I have been looking for a travel trailer for several months and it has been extremely frustrating to figure out how much weight my truck could safely tow. And, we constantly got different answers from RV sales persons. We then found this app and it is the best purchase we made and we are now in the final stages of buying a travel trailer that we know my truck can handle. I did have a few questions understanding the results and Dave was very responsive and helpful. I recommend this app to anyone that is considering a travel trailer or fifth wheel! Thanks Dave!

Thank you, Ken, for the positive review. It was a pleasure to assist you to ensure you fully understood the results. If you ever have additional questions, don't hesitate to ask. Best regards, and first and foremost, travel safely. Dave
