Palomino Maverick M-800 on 2018 GMC 3500 STD BOX 4x4

I'm looking at the slide in camper above which is 108" in the bed of my 80" box. The advertised dry weight is 1675lbs, so probably 2500lbs or so on the road. I figure that with my wife and my dog plus...

Palomino is famous for changing model numbers but cranking out virtually the same camper. An M-800 is now called a Backpack HS-750. Main difference being a N-S bed vs. an E-W and a couple hundred pounds on dry weight.

COG is 27" on the HS-750.

The HS-750 is advertised, "1/2 Ton Truck w/ 5’6” up to 8’ Bed."

So, much ado about nothing. You will be fine.
