Looking at buying a new truck for a camper, first time

Slide in truck campers are deceptively heavy. A single slide Arctic Fox camper will push over 4000 pounds easily (and that with no water, food, etc).

Fortunately for you, you have not purchased the truck yet. You still have time to explore camper weights and run the numbers. Check back with this forum with any questions.

The single slide camper (with all our food, water, refreshments, etc.) in my signature max's out the trucks payload capacity at 14,000 pounds.
