New-to-me truck and camper
I thought it would be a good idea to join this forum, as I just bought a truck and camper. I will be full-timing for at least a year, possibly longer. I would love your thoughts, tips, tricks, hints...

Those numbers look good with plenty of reserve as long as your registration weight is sufficient. Your tires have about 7500 lbs per axle and the axles Ford sources are higher than tagged. The Dana 60 steer axle has a 7250 lb rating and the Visteon Sterling 10.5" drive axle is rated for 9750 lbs.
I reweighed my rig today. I have added some gear (chain sling, tow strap, etc.), and now my weight is as follows below.
In other news, my rig gets 16.9 MPG without the camper and 11.9 MPG with the camper. I hand-calculated. My truck's computer is off (says I am getting 13 MPG with the camper).
