To summarize what I think I'm hearing:
2. 2500-3500 trucks don't differ much in terms of hauling capacity or GVWR - maybe a couple hundred pounds in a lot of cases. I need to pay attention to the tires and wheels to ensure they are rated for the weight.
not nessasarly true. you CAN get a 2500 that has a special package that will bring it close to the 3500 but for normal trucks with out lucking on one that has been a special order or ordering a brandnew one this isnt a practical way to go. just look for a 3500/f350 , check the specks on the ones your looking at to see the payload package. the camper is only 1/2 the issue, you also have the wight of the people and anything else you put in the camper so realy you looking at 1000-1200 lbs more than the camper depending on family size and how much junk you pack ;)
