We have a 2014 RAM 3500 Cummins SRW with about 4,300lb payload. Our current travel trailer is 4,300 empty, 6,000lb GVWR.
We'd like to get a single-slide camper and tow our TT with the camper in the bed.
The camper we're looking is a Palomino HS-1914 Backpack. It weights 3493 empty. "Wet" weight is about 4,700, I think.
While towing with the camper in the bed, we'd leave the camper as empty as possible and put most of our stuff in the TT.
The difference will tell you what size of camper you can plan on.
Is this a crazy idea? I know we'd need to get extension bars of some sort to tow the trailer. Weight-wise, we'd be cutting it pretty close I think.
Thoughts? Thanks.
The above numbers have no use with TC as camper weight in +-100% go on rear axle.
So starting point should be reading RAWR and putting the axle on scales.
