... snipped ... I have been looking for a truck camper to use with our 2006 Dodge 2500 Quad Cab Diesel short box (6.5ft) but am starting to wonder if it is going to be possible to find a truck camper equipped like we would want it without way exceeding the GVWR of our truck.
The GVWR of the truck is 9000lb and I drove it across the local scale to today and with only me in it and full of fuel it weights 7600.
We would like this truck camper to have a kitchen with range and fridge, AC, toilet, shower and possibly a generator.
Anyway, are there any truck campers out there that would have the features we want and not grossly exceed our weight limits. We would like to stay in the $10,000 range if possible, so we are talking used. Make and model recommendations would be a big help.
Thanks!!
Your budget may be doable if you are patient enough. However, with only 1400 lbs. to work with (plus a little more so you're not "grossly overweight"), my opinion is you are out of luck.
