Bathroom scale
Sorry about the scary title. I need (really need) a bathroom scale in my trailer. Ideally I'd like one that can be mounted on a wall with a fold-down scale part and a remote display. I can't seem to find anything like this so I'm wondering if someone else has.
My theory is that the easier the scale is to use the more likely I'll stick with it. If the scale is stowed away somewhere I'll forget about it. Any ideas?

I just googled storing scale on side;
You can do that, it’s even good for them. Maybe a scale with a remote display would work.

In you search keep this in mind. Many, if not most scales, are using a glass surface. Probably good to avoid those.
We carry a scale stored in a cabinet. It is just part of a morning ritual to take it out and weigh ourselves. Daily weigh-ins are critical to weight loss and maintenance. You are on the right track, don’t let finding the proper mounting get in the way of daily use.

We carry an old style metal one in our pantry under the DS dinette. It’s by food, so it gets remembered.

I just picked up this Escali B180RC Classic Glass Bathroom Body Scale. I liked it because it is light & compact. I’ll keep it in the original box while traveling and out once parked. Only about $18 from Amazon. I’ve always believed in getting on the scale each morning. Easier to keep weight under control when you monitor it.

This one isn't flip down but does have remote display and it can be used to weigh the trailer tongue too. If you don't find a flip down, this one might be in contention as a 2 fur 1.

Hi: Mike Lewis... On a scale of 1-10 our bathroom is a point 5. I'm glad it's too small for a weigh scale cause I already know I'm off the scale. Alf

You could make it smaller if you used a scale model.
