You will find endless discussions of camper weight but as a quick summary, expect the weight to be considerably more than you think it will be. First make sure you know the actual weight of your camper. Manufacturer's specs are often for the basic unit without "accessories" such as an A/C unit, microwave/oven, awnings, etc, etc. After you get an accurate wet camper weight, you need to add about 300# for truck mods such as tiedown brackets, bed mat, fastguns. Then add the weight for any heavy items you might carry such as bicycles, BBQ grill, generator and fuel, tools, etc. Then add about 1000# for kitchen gear, cleaning supplies, clothing/personal items, chairs, etc. You will quickly find that the camper you think weighs 2000# can easily exceed a total cargo weight of over 4000#.
