Help Need some info!

Ok so I cannot find this info anywhere. Do hard side truck campers have weight limits for the beds over the cab?
  • Take a look at Arctic Fox's brochure and on page 5 they show a whole herd of people standing on the roof of their rig.

    Now I'm not saying that you could do that on all brands.
  • As long as you are talking more than 600lbs, I wouldn't worry about it.
  • Good question. Do you have a particular model in mind or are you talking in general. Some frames are made of wood and others are aluminum. New camper vs old.
    I owned a camper with three legs that would tip over with all of our 300 pounds on the bed when it was on its three legged jacks but not when it was in the truck.
    I know the manufactures now make the side walls with such good strength one could probably park a small car on the bed.
    If the manufacture is still in business, give them a call with the model and ask them. They are extremely helpful and willing to help.
    Good luck!!
