Can I tow my new camper safely
I just bought a new camper with a UVW of 8130# towing with a 2008 chevy 1500 4x4 w/5.3L motor and 3.73 gears. Do you think I will be all right towing this?

The camper I just bought was a 30ft TT Palomino. Even the camper place where I bought it said I could tow it fine. Are they pulling me leg?
Shouldn't be a problem as long as you're going downhill :R
In all seriousness, you know the trailer weighs almost 1000 lbs more than the truck is rated for and that's before you've loaded the truck and trailer with gear... which will likely be another 1000 lbs!
Never believe any salesman (be it trailer or truck) when it comes to towing. They will tell you what ever is needed to close the sale.
