Does anyone have any documented ready to use weights? I have a 2008 crew cab duramax dually I know I am going to be "over" the 11,400 gvwr but how far is the real question?

Camper center of gravity listed at 55 inches
Long bed pickup cab to axle length is 54 inches
Typical cab to front wall of camper distance is 3 to 6 inches
That makes the camper's center of gravity come to about 4 to 7 inches behind the truck's axle.
With a ready to camp weight of 5200 lbs or more, I would say this camper would be best hauled by an F450 cab/chassis truck. Cab/chassis trucks have 60 inch cab to axle distance, 6 inches more than long bed pickups, plus alot heavier rear suspension than pickups.
