Thanks, some of these people talk as if the wheels are gonna break and camper will turn into an atom bomb if over....
I thoroughly analyzed my weights for truck camper combo listed in the sig. I am running stock steel wheels with my mid-size camper. The numbers came up that I am #75 over for the rear wheels, but I stepped up to a greater Load Index tire and am well within those numbers and under the axle rating. I am comfortable with my setup for a mid-size camper and 17" wheels& tires, BUT..
..I often see rigs out there with stock 17" wheels and tires running MUCH larger and heavier campers on a SRW Dodge. In my opinion, those rigs might be the epitome of "ignorance is bliss" because there is no way I would be hauling those big campers on a similar truck with stock rims.
In my opinion, most folks do not analyze large campers on a SRW truck to really understand the numbers... but this is only an opinion and I believe that most might be surprised if they knew.
JMHO-DYDD.
