No good to me. There's no allowance for bakery stops!!
FWIW there is an app version of Open Office. Look in the Play Store for AndrOpen.

Bakery stops easily covered, add 6kg to front passengers figure, and we should also cover adequate emergency beverage supply with 25kg to the rear passenger figure.

It looks intriguingly useful, but I notice that it does not take into account the front and rear axle limitations of the towing vehicle. This is a critical measurement that I have found with my rig. I can be well within the maximum GCM, GVM, and towball mass, but exceed the rear axle mass by not distributing the load properly inside the car, i.e. less weight in the boot by moving heavy tools into the footwell of the second row seats to shift some load off the rear axle to the front axle. I generally check the three axle weights (2 x car and 1 x caravan) by using the various free weighbridges (in Victoria). Tow ball weight is checked at home with a short timber beam and bathroom scales in a 1:2 proportion. Attached picture shows the setup.
Found the attached spreadsheet on RVDaily. Looks like a useful thing if you're serious about weight management.
BTW if you don't have MS Office just download Libre Office instead, it's totally free (open source).

That's a great real life picture of the scale TBW measurement method.
Really helpful.
Thanks.
