To do it right you'll need to know the weight of the camper, the weight of the trailer with car and everything loaded - fuel, people, gear, water, food etc. Subtract this from the GCWR of the truck. Without knowing any of the above my guess is you'll be way over the limit. It's not just springs and tires. It's transmission, engine, frame, brakes etc.
Yeah, that's kind of the feeling that I have been having. He doesn't know those numbers, and I can't find a good way to estimate them. I'll probably just have to pass until I find something more suitable. Thanks for the help!
I would concentrate on finding a good truck first. if you can find a good used dualy for a reasonable price then pickign a camper after that is easy. heck if you have the dualy you could even go into a dealer and find a good camper for relitivly cheep, I was surprised how cheep I got mine for on sale and 2 years used. its always easier if you have more truck and can just load up almost anything you like and take it home.
