Photobucket no longer allows 3rd party linking-need another host
The numbers you quoted don't work, let alone real world.
Lets pretend you could load camper with gear and liquids and stay under 4500#, you and co-pilot weigh less than 296# and you have not so much as a map inside cab-still 1500# over, minimum.
Thats a lot of pretending. I cannot imagine the salesman had clue to the weight your thinking about to not recommend DRW (sure dont want to drive into lot with it loaded expecting any warranty work.)
Maybe your 'friend' would let you drive his setup around the block,
if you want to go that route of making it work and what you'd end up with-but Im in agreement-camper way to big, truck too small- one needs to change. If this is a long term pursuit Id change truck.
