Over weight? Does it bother you?
From spending time in here lots of people have said that they were over weight with the camper. I'm over weight. Does it worry you? Does it keep you from going where you want to go? How much ...

I run by DOT rules....tires and axle weights is all I care about. I run at or over my "sticker GVWR" all the time, and have for decades now. I'm 1,000lbs under Ford's rating on my rear axle and 3,000lbs under the manufactures rating when fully loaded. Heck just my 4 rear tires are rated for over 12,000lbs combined. I still have 900lbs left on my front axle weight too. Red could care less about the 4,500lbs on her back, drops her 1.5 inches and still has a "rake". She is a pleasure to drive loaded, ride and handling is solid and predictable.
I don't know whose "DOT" rules you're talking about, but they probably don't apply to your vehicle. Your truck is overloaded and you're trying to justify it, but if any rating is exceeded, you're overloaded.
