Yeah, just going through some basic numbers on paper leads me to believe that I would have to be very careful with a 1/2 ton. The "we" camping is my wife and I, and occasionally two grandkids (maybe 3 if they all get along) and again, probably the state park route, with hookups etc. But, running the numbers on paper it's not much margin with the payload of the truck being 1630 (Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab). There will be times we have four adults, and that's gonna be real close.
Finally starting to understand all the interactions between the different values and the margins reduce real quickly.
