Proper sized camper for Ram 1500 Ecodiesel
So over the last few years I've been trying to add a bit more camping into my UTV/V-Strom adventures. So far I've relied on truck tents. I know these are not very popular but they have served me well....

But the truck handled it great.
If I do go with a slide in it will not be a 1-ton beast. It will be close to half that and I have no doubt that it will not be a problem.
Good luck with that. There are very few campers out there with any sort of amenities that come anywhere near weighing 1000lbs. Believe me, I looked for a long time and found NOTHING.
Most of your everyday popups are 1600lbs new off the lot, and even the newest designs that don't have cabovers are 1200-1500lbs.
Basically the only thing that will come in under 1000lbs is an empty Four Wheel Campers shell model. If sitting naked hungry and cold in the middle of an empty room is your idea of camping, have at it...
