Yes you can carry truck campers on half ton pickups that are over their weight limit. You can drive for years without an issues. But if you get in an accident your over the weight limit truck can be a factor in police reports, insurance claims and in a court of law. They weigh and inspect commercial trucks on highways because it has been proven to reduce accidents and save lives.
Match the legal weight the manufacture determines on your truck to the vehicle you carry or tow
Example of one ticketed or sued truck camper for overweight..Most of the truck campers on the road are over weight as well as a host of fifth wheels..Sure would like to see one example...
I have had my share of over weight tickets in a semi truck unfortunately..LOL
