The weight of the camper is the thing. My 2003 F350 was crushed by a 2900# dry weight camper. Fully loaded, the camper, gear and passengers weighed 4000#.
I ended up with a 11,400 pound truck/camper combo. My GVWR was 10,000.
Yes, I had air bags, Rancho 9000's, a sway bar, and 19.5 tires. It drove like******and I wouldn't do it again.
My current camper is right at the Trucks GVWR. It drives great. Find out what the camper weighs and take your truck to a scale and post the results.
Yep. That's why I have a 2100 lb camper with my SRW 1 ton...and even then I'm on the ragged edge.
If I had it to do all over again, I would get a DRW truck right out of the gate.
