Truck Camper COG
I have a 1995 Security 10C Timberline truck camper and cannot seem to find a listing for the COG on this unit. The company is out of business I believe, so how can I find this information? Thanks

My AF 811 has COG marked with an arrow on the driver's side indicating it's *horizontal* location. I've always been curious, though, where the COG is located vertically on the unit.
Not a hijack at all actually. The vertical COG will vary with camper design and placement of heavier appliances and or storage of heavier items.
Why I have a pop up. The Cg is lower because the vertical weight is less and my appliance are all set down low.
That keeps the camper more stable on the road in heavy cross winds and off road in off camber situations.
A hardsie with high mount appliances will have a high vertical Cg and will be more impacted in the above situations...
All my appliances, bathroom, closets are before the rear axle. Only thing I don't see is the holding tanks as there in the basement that I have not accessed. And I have a large overhang up front, but it's on a crew cab, long box Chevy truck. I know my COG on the truck is from rear axle to back side of rear fender opening, so I have lots of play there.
