can't get the gvwr math to work
I want to buy a Bigfoot 25C9.4SB and a short bed srw crew cab diesel to match. Everything I read says "gvwr gvwr gvwr - never violate your trucks gvwr!". ok. So, Bigfoot says their camper is 3K ...

The internet has made the GVWR more important than it really is.Before the internet,I never thought twice about GVWR or even once..I just put the camper I wanted,within reason,on the back of the truck and made improvements if necessary which I never did, except for helper springs..
I had three different 10FT+ campers on a 3/4 ton truck with nothing else but extra springs of some sort.One was pretty heavy with extra sway in the corners..I just drove slower on curvy roads without any problems at all.
Just this last year was the very first time I ever weighed a truck and camper because it had me curious about all the GVWR chatter on the net.It's just silly..Period..
To the last poster,my front and rear axle weights exceed the GVWR by 1,000 pounds whatever that means on the internet.(laughing)..
Soon the TC'ers are going to be close to 20 feet high and the floors even with the bed rails..Truck camping has changed big time!
