New take off factory 18" wheel/tires are often available at dealers when folks want to finance aftermarket wheels and tires on a new truck. 18's are rated around 3700lbs capacity.
That's good to know, I was just thinking a Load Range E tire was the same regardless of wheel size. I usually get a spare set, so I can run studded snows in the winter for plowing.
I would guess my TC weighs in at no more than 1800lbs loaded so I could defer a tire/wheel upgrade until I need new tires.
I suspect that is a bad guess. Probably more like 2500 loaded, maybe more. One way to find out though. Visit a Cat scale and weigh it camper on and weight it camper off. I think you will change your weight estimate...upward quite a bit. My old Lance weighed 2200 not ready to go camping, no water, no stuff, just propane and battery.
I'd be looking for a 1 ton.
My Palomino soft side (pop-up) weighs 1850 dry and I don't have full walls either. Loaded up, she weighs 2200 pounds (stuff water and provisions).
