I dont know where you live but here in Ontario I can just drive to the nearest truck inspection station and weigh all 4 corners at no cost. They leave the scales on when they are closed. Best not to go over them when they are open and there is a line up of trucks.

Try getting a trucker to back up while you are going back and fourth getting your corner weights.

How do you know what pressures to use in the tires if you have not have your unit weighed? I am trying to find a place where I can weigh my coach, but I need to find a pressure for the tires in the interim. Thanks for the help.

How about telling us your tire manufacturer and tire size?

The tire manufacturers publish weight "charts" to show what pressure you should carry....

Tiffin puts a tire pressure on their id label
for each axle under the coach. Does Fleetwood do the same? It would be a good starting point for you til you get it weighed.

If there is any doubt, inflate the tires to maximum indicated on the tire sidewall until actual weights can be obtained.

I do not know about the rest of the Tiffin line, but the air pressure chart for my unit is located on the wall next to and behind the driver's seat at floor level just in front of the slide. I ran across it by accident because I would never have thought to look there. With the slide in, you will never see it. It is a stick-on that cannot moved to a more readable location, like inside one of the upper cabinet doors. Beats me why they picked that particular place to stick it.

Have you looked around locally? Places like Feed and fertilizer dealers, sand and gravel pits, moving and storage companies, grain silos and grain storage facilities all usually have scales. Also check with a farm equipment dealers, as they may know farms that have their own scales. Call first wherever you go and ask if the scale is flush with the ground, or elevated. Getting weighed is really not hard, even all 4 wheels.

I use the scale at a farmers coop. Easy to weigh all four corners. If they have a silo my guess is they have a scale.

You could also try moving companies, they always have a scale as they have to certify weights for household moving.

I've found a grain elevator is a good place to get axle and coach gross weights. I weigh mine when the the is fully loaded and ready for travel.
