I tried to eyeball it and get it centered, but I'm sure I was off a couple inches. I guess that could account for the difference. Ideally, the way to do this on a segmented scale that weighs each...

The slideout bearings failed on my 2004 Vectra 40AD (the main slideouts). By tilting the RV with the jacks I was able to get them to retract.
