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 ...

"I estimate my wet loaded camper payload to be 3500 pounds.
GVWR of of 9900 pounds
GAWR RR 6500 pounds
GAWR FF 4800 pounds
Tires are Michellin P265/75R16 LTX E2 (3400 pounds at 80 PSI).
The dealer says that there is no sticker on the door as to payload capacity of this vehicle but there is a sticker in the glove box stating camper should not exceed 2200 pounds. In cruising the Internet, some suggest that the payload as specified by GMC might be as low as 2800 pounds. "
Short of buying the truck and the camper and taking it to a scale, is there any way of estimating the weight on the rear axle and rear tires in this setting?
