AF 1140 Dry Weight
I found two different dry weights for this camper. I found 4,060 lbs. on the Trailer Camper Magazine site and 3,465 lbs. on the AF site. Both sites mention adding the mandatory 595 lb. option package ...

And you literally have a truck that will haul that camper with ease, in absolute comfort.
And no you won’t be over 6klbs guaranteed unless you want to be (but the truck would still be fine with it).
You read these posts. Rock collections?? Really? And obviously enough rocks either in the camper or their heads to add significantly to the rolling weight of their rig!
Whether actual or metaphorical rock collections, I’ve packed enough stuff into our truck/camper for a family of 4 to live comfortably for a month on the road and boondocking and couldn’t possibly come up with the weight some are carrying.
And I’m talking generator, enough “beer” for us and several others if the situation called for. Fishing gear, tools, bottle jack, bbq, extra 50gal of water, separate camping gear to get the kids out of the camper, and a wife who brings a full suitcase for a weekend trip.
Don’t let some of these stories on rvnet scare you. There’s one in every crowd and more than a few here, lol.
I did get my payload up over 5k I’m sure on one trip, but we were moving to AK and camping our way up there and brought a bunch of stuff that we needed until the moving company showed up which was almost a month out. That included a trailer with mower and household goods, liquids/flammables that couldn’t be put on the ship, pets, etc.
Also on a 2007 Ram 2500..... and the sway bar I ordered didn’t show up before we left!
Could of used that!
