Another truck and camper match question...

As you're a professional worrier, I would recommend that you stay away from the "numbers games" that some people play to carry heavier campers on lesser trucks. Numbers games such as ignoring GVWR and using only individual axle ratings to determine how much weight they can carry.

Now your talking about 100 percent of the LTL commercial truck owners and operators you see every day out here on the road moving something down the highway. And we do it with our LDTs for hundreds of thousands of miles and we have a safer safety record than OTR owners/operators.

If we can use the trucks axle ratings to legally/safely carry payloads then one would think it would be safe for RV owners to carry their payloads also.

Remember that you're also doing this without the "sanctioning" of the truck's manufacturer.

Warranty is meaningless to LTL operators as they burn through the manufacturer's warranty in 3-4 months on a new truck. Someone camping may not put the 36,000 or however many miles on the truck in several years.

We're talking to a "professional worrier" here. Being denied warranty coverage due to exceeding the manufacturer's GVWR is something a professional worrier would worry about, not that it would be likely to happen.
