Finally weighed it! Unloaded with almost full fuel and two people it weighed in at an even 8700 pounds. Much more than I thought it was going to for a SRW RAM 3500 MegaCab CTD shortbed. I'm guessing with the camper and loaded for a trip I'm going to be at 11,500+. We've been out twice with it all loaded and you can hardly tell the camper is on it with everything stock. I love this truck!
My 2006 SRW RAM 2500 MegaCab CTD shortbed with 4x4 and manual tranny weighs the same as yours. Mine has Superhitch, a front receiver hitch, overload springs, air bags and Hellwig BigWig sway bar as well as 19.5" Rickson steel wheels and Toyo 14 ply tires. (I don't carry a spare though)
Fully loaded with a 2012 Lance 855S camper, she weighs about 12,500 pounds. That includes fuel, water, everything!
