Anyone have some realistic numbers on how much your cargo weight is for full time living? For 2 people.
I have full timed in a Class A/Class C/Travel trailer and a Fifth wheel..Your weight for full timing will be atleast double of others..I have never full timed in a truck camper but my guess would be somewhere between 1500# and 2000# above the camper sticker..Close to double what a weekend camper would use..
I ran into a guy from Alaska last year that was full timing in a 9-10 foot truck camper by himself in a remote Idaho getaway, with a super cab Ford..The back seat was full of clothes/water/fishing stuff and extra food etc..I imagine the Lance truck camper was full also..He definitely was over the GVWR of his older SRW Ford 4X4,but he could have cared less..
Most of those who never have full timed in an RV don't realize how much extra stuff a guy needs and with two people,it's worse..If you don't have it,you will be spending all your time going to get it..Oh,I forgot........LOL
