I think you need to upgrade the truck to handle the load.

Look at this guy with his camper and truck. He doesn't give a #$#@ about truck scales or weight police.

Yeah, but it's still only a SRW. He's asking for trouble with that camper.

Minor correction, we don't need slideouts and drws we want them. ;)

No, it's need, or more precisely "*THINK* we need."

Corollary #1: We don't all think we need to put huge campers in our duallys, either.

Our truck alone;2500HD Diesel CC is 7400#.

Hard to tell from the pic, is your truck a 2500 or 2500 HD?

Incredible there is that much difference between models...

Good job on keeping your numbers down!

If you look at the 3rd pic you'll see it listed as a K25753. I can't find anything about badges & HDs for that era. Plus from the other pic you can see I do have the camper cert. in the glovebox.

Jammin's truck has a GVWR of 8600 so I'm guessing a 2500. 2500HD is 9200 GVWR.

You do realize that some of these TC's weigh more than your truck. Just my truck weighs more than your TC and truck combined.

To add to the range of rigs, that puts you right in the middle. My empty truck weighs the same as your truck and TC! (Or very very close.....haven't weighed empty in a while but it is right about 12k.

And you guys missed the weight reduction for the scraped off metal from the rim in the equation..... :)

You know, it is against the law to call the weight police for no good reason....

I agree that the center of gravity is a problem with the dump truck. :)

But, but, but... All the weight is behind the rear axle. He also may need to drop down 19.5" wheels to lower his center of gravity.

I think you need to upgrade the truck to handle the load.

Good catch, we don't all want duallys with giant campers with slideouts. :W
