Here is the one that started it for me. My Dad bought it so we could both use it. It was amazing in so many ways but the biggest thing was how heavy it was!! That truck was like a tank - double steel fuel tanks, steel rims and everything solidly built. Add the camper and I am sure that we were triple the load rating of the truck. The camper was NEVER taken of the truck, no jacks to do it so was not even thought of. It was secured in the truck with bed mounts. My Dad sold it so he could go with a VW Vanagon as the gas mileage with the truck and camper was slightly above 0 mpg :B
My first truck camper was slightly lighter as I learned a lesson. 1992 Northern Lite and a 2002 GMC 2500HD.
