I never thought a hard side camper would be a good option for my PW and would never exceed my gross axle weight rating. The ss-550 has dry weight of 1594 lbs which would leave 1500 lbs of room before I hit GAWR. But I may have found a way to get a FWC hawk shell late July. The FWC is built better and should make the weight police happy since it's dry weight is around 850 lbs. Also with the FWC I would most likely leave it on the truck full time where the ss-550 would have come off except for camping trips.
I have a Palomino pop up and the new ones are better with one piece door and electric top.
All the wt will be on the rear axle,
my F250 is 2880 empty and 4780 with camper.
on the pop ups the COG will be behind the rear axle
