Too many people already have a truck when they decide to get a truck camper and instead of fitting a camper to the truck they already have, they buy the camper they want and try to make it fit the truck.

In my experience a lot of the dealers are culpable in allowing this to happen as they want to sell a camper and will gladly send it out the door fully aware the rig is overweight.

Thanks.

I have had occasion to discuss payload with some of the truck campers I meet and they are sometimes surprised and dismayed that there are actual weight limitations for their trucks and campers. This Post does a lot to clarify the issue. Thank you.
