In general, how much payload capacity do you sacrifice going from regular cab to crew cab? Let's keep it simple and compare single wheel pickups-not duellys. I did the calculation for the 2013 Chevy Silverado 3500 and it was 581 pounds! Is that normal?
Your not going to get a Lance 850 to be under GVWR on an older 1-ton truck and most new ones..
Example:
My '94 Ford F-350 Dually has 4600# of payload and my Lance 9.6 TC(2659#) is a spitting image of the Lance 850 but a couple inches longer..When all is said and done,ready to camp,I am almost at my GVWR with 4600# payload,depending how much I take with me.. My Ford is a Super cab..
What is being missed here in all your post is that the GVWR,especially on older trucks,is without anyone in it and nothing extra that was not on it at the factory..Everything counts,after market this or that/human weight/pet weight/tools/chains or anything in the jockey box...
It is very deceiving and why almost everyone with a truck camper is over weight,not all,but most..
