Thanks for sharing this, Randy.
I have my receiver hitch turned over to provide a lift instead of a drop.
With the auto-leveling system on my EXT, the receiver hitch turned over provides the correct lift to keep my trailer level from front to back.
I looked at the Weigh Safe offerings and was happy to see the ball only device.
I added this to my Amazon Wish List and will probably pick one up.
Weigh Safe 2" Universal Tow Hitch Ball with Built-in Scale, 2-5/16" Clam Shell
RE: After reading the reviews, I still may get this, but I will probably not use it as my actual towing device.
One reviewer seems to have had a problem with rain getting into the gauge, while another indicated the device stopped working after towing with it.
I could still use it to weigh the tongue weight, but switch out to my regular hitch to do the actual towing.
That wouldn't be too much trouble and it would be good to make sure I have my load balanced properly for each tow.
I would just purchase another receiver hitch to mount the Weigh Safe device on and just use that assembly to only weigh my load, and not tow.
Still a lot easier that toting around a tongue weight scale.
The load of our party barge and trailer can change depending upon the gear we choose to take each time.
We shall see.
