yes forsure safety and comfort of the truck forsure. but of course I'm on a tighter budget i suppose.
so just looking now, what do you think about the travel lite truck campers ?
the 770R super lite and models down are lite (1000-1300) don't seem too bad. even for the summer, it'll have be on there the whole time i'd think, so i could also reduce weight by of course the legs..assuming around 15-20 pounds a leg, i could potentially save more weight that way. so really even a camper that is around 1200 pounds,and loaded being 1300-1400. you don't think that would be ideal for a f150...i don't think it would be too heavy ?
i totally under stand bigger and heavier truck to handle the weight etc. but of course i'll bring up budgeting and a smaller camper around 1000 pounds. that a 1/2 ton i assume would be ok?
sorry just trying to think of all options. and not just a 3/4 or 1 ton truck
and i did see the pay load. of course the tacoma is lighter at 1150 ..and the f150 being 2100lbs. so yes that is a brochure print off and it's not ideally something to look off. I'm only looking to get away from the tacoma as it'll make due for the camper,but the truck would be raving much much higher with the weight and maxed out in payload. but the 1/2 ton could handle the weight from what i read, in the payload department.
