As someone who has learned real fast about truck campers and advertised weights, take them with a grain of salt. Case in point, my 2012 Ascent S85R 8' 11" short bed camper has a advertised dry weight of 3000 lbs dry, and 3565 wet. Actual weight of the camper with built in 2500 Onan generator, awnings, air conditioning, 60 lbs of propane and no water is 4180 lbs. The fully wet weight with 56 gallons of water, gear, groceries and cloths, is a portly 5100 lbs. Even subtracting the 60 lbs of propane and 120 lbs for the two batteries in the camper the dry weight is still 4000 lbs a full 1000 lbs over the listed dry weight! Is every camper going to be this far off? NO! Even so, do your homework before buying any camper. We love our camper, but it belongs on a short bed dually truck PERIOD! Likewise, an Artic Fox 990 will physically sit on a long bed SRW truck, it belongs on a dually though.
