Truck camper payload question?
I have a truck camper payload question. If this is the wrong forum, I apologize in advance. I also posted this in the truck forum. We recently put a deposit down on a flatbed Northstar Escape Pod ...

The truck you are looking at is basically the same as mine.
Mine has ~ 87000 miles on it of which 80% has been with the camper on.
GVW of of 9900 pounds
GAWR 6500 pounds
GAWF 4800 pounds
Except my glove box says Camper not to exceed 815 Kg (1796 lbs)
My camper's dry mass is 1280 Kg (2822 lbs).
With the camper loaded, I am below the axle ratings and the tire ratings, but over the GVW. With the motorcycle on the front I am over the front axle rating.
You should have no problems with the camper you are looking at.
My setup was fine for 5 years and then I started to notice some more sway on corners so I added timbrens when I had the shocks replaced with KYB Monmax. Before the timbrens were installed I always needed to be raise the rear an inch to be level. With the timbren I need to roll the front up onto my levelling ramps.
