Looking for suggestions on a good wheel balancer that works well for the RVs.
Thanks!

I bought one from Amazon that looks like HF. As well my shaft wasn't straight and had to be replaced. And, the bearings felt like they had sand in them and were replaced. One cone was offset and had a machine shop fix it. In short, junk.X2 on the Harbor Freight unit. I did replace the shaft with some left over 4130 tubing because the original shaft was not completely straight but works very well. Just make sure that the cones are properly up against the bearing.
The HF balancer worked fine. We used motorcycle stick-on weights. They have stayed on for almost 3 years and 250 hours.

Marc’s balancer is a precision machined work of art. I keep it on the shelf in my office.
I bought the HF one first too and it was junk. Don’t even waste your time with it.
