You can use a home scale and a lever, or you can buy a dedicated TW scale from Sherline Manufacturing. Many owners opt for the Sherline. I took ours to a rally once, and was "very popular".. LOL

If you don't remember 8th grade physics, the home/bathroom scale and lever method is explained a lot of places on the internet, and you tube has videos..

+1, I have a Sherline and highly recommend it, very important when adding mods to the trailer.
