I’m not going large on my T/C either, and since I’ve decided to go 2” tube on the “hold down bars” I will probably be running 1/8” wall thickness. I already have a plan to load test them for deflection in my shop. My square tubing bender will put a slight bend in the tubing creating “the weak point” along with the spring loaded turnbuckles, and if needed I’ll up a size to 3/16” wall thickness. I’m sure that from what I’ve read- the weak link will almost always be the attachment point on the camper itself. My off-roading will be mainly the family farms/hunting trips. I’ve done a ton of work (all myself) on this truck and am looking forward to a camper as opposed to tent camping. Nothing wrong with tent camping at all- but at 57 the ground seems a little harder than it use to ;)
