If you question the accuracy of a measurement, it's very easy to test this:
roll the trailer 1 meter further and start the measurement again starting with the last hull.

Check the difference with the first measurement. If it's too big, than I eat my shoe


I agree that it is about what your tolerances are.

If you are satisfied with + or - 5 pounds (10#), it is negligible.

More important is to calibrate your scale. Bathroom scales can be off by 10# at 200#. If you calibrate that same scale it can repeat within a pound or two.
