Can't believe my payload is so low.

Another thing to pay close attention to is the fact that truck camper manufactures, listed weights can be way off, and actually weigh hundreds of pounds more than their sticker says they weigh. Prime example, found a 2015 Ram 3500 SRW, 4x4, megacab, gasser with 4069lbs of payload capacity. Thinking I’d hit the jackpot with this much capacity, I went and bought a camper that listed it’s dry weight of 3200 and change and wet weight of 3600 and change was a good match. While the truck handles the camper well, it’s true wet weight with gear, groceries, and clothes is 4900 lbs! I’m over GVWR and over on the rear axle, and over the rating of the tires. How much? GVWR 11400 GVW 13000. Rear axle rating 7000. Loaded 8700. Tires 3650 a piece. The tires is the major weak link for my set up followed by the rear axle rating. It’s my belief that most truck camper owners are over weight. There are some that are within their trucks specs, but not as many as some would have you believe. Unless you have put a camper on the scales to prove you’re not, you’re overweight!
