So the previous post was not your last word then ?

Re: Weighing your motor home
They receive an answer that they feel is not accurate or perhaps wrong.
So they post a poll to gauge the views of a wider audience.
That poll sort of confirms that the answers they were given were not accurate.
Rather than accept the results of the poll the people in the room all band together in their 'friendly forum' with various unpleasant attacks on the person who asked the question.
Interesting don't you think.
And Yes I have many drones about 14 in fact. Many of them perfectly capable of being legally flown over any site you might be on. They are almost silent and I can assure you you would have no idea they were even there. I would always fly them responsibly and respectively

Re: Weighing your motor home
What does concern me is the post about not being interested in axle weights and tyre pressures. Once again, I'm not in a panic about that as I think my own choice of tyres has been responsible. But I have bothered to check the relationship and have put sensors on the valves to warn me of potential under-inflation or over-heating. Only a year or two ago, I walked round my car when I stopped to stretch my legs (no sensors on the car) and, as is my custom, felt the tyres. One was warmer than the other 3 and by standing further away I could see that it was just slightly flat. The valve, replaced a week or two previously with new tyres was faulty and leaking round its base.
When we drive our vehicles we are in charge of powerful weapons which should be handled with care, respect and common sense.
Sorry - I've gone way off topic.

Re: Weighing your motor home
There are still over 30 days for the poll to run.
When a poll does not show what you want claiming it is not representative is a very poor excuse. Some bloke in the US with dodgy hair tried that a few months ago.

Re: Weighing your motor home
I KNOW what mine weighs
I KNOW both axle weights.
I KNOW, therefore my tyre pressures are correct.
My TPMS tells me both pressure AND temperature to confirm that
As an engineer, I deal with facts not guesses, but as I have already said, each to their own!

Chartered Surveyor here and had several Engineers in my employ over many years. Seen them build in factors of safety of stupid proportions and indeed guess on other occasions so indeed each to their own
I see you are in Norfolk you don’t work for NPS do you

You’re making rather a lot of noise with your various polls and comments.Bigplumbs wrote:Well the number of answers is increasing and the votes for never weighing and gaining all the time.

Surely you’d gain far more enjoyment from going out and using your van rather than being a keyboard warrior?

Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level. Then beat you with experience.
