What's your guess?

A friend with a 1/2 ton is set on getting a camper. He found a manufacturer that lists the camper at 1300 lbs dry weight. What's all your guesses what it really weighs?

    Yep.
  • That would depend on how the 1/2 ton is setup and any improvements to the tires,wheels,axle. and chassis...Still a 3/4 ton stock will trump that 1/2 ton even with improvements. JMO

  • Depends on the camper. Most of them are weighed with no options and most campers ...have options. All ready to rock n roll 2000#.
    As you well know , things add up fast .
