Congratulations Steve - the Chalet is a beautiful and impressive camper.
Will you be picking up the camper in Oregon and driving back with it?
I hope that you've been reading the truck camper forums and understand the need for a beefy and capable truck.
A truck camper is not like a 5th wheel - the truck camper will probably weigh 5,000 US pounds or more.
Especially when loaded - it will weigh more than 5000 US pounds.
If your Dodge does not have heavy duty shocks like the Ranchos or Bilsteins then you might want to consider them before getting the camper.
I'm sure others will provide additional cautions.
