Lots of questions to answer here: What is the major task for the truck? Full time grocery getter, commuter or full time camper rig? Any plans to upgrade to a larger camper? Most would advise to go bigger with the truck rather than match it to current wants as upgrading to another is very costly. I've read many places to figure 1,000 lbs. for water, food, clothes, tools, etc... pretty close to what jmtandem said. FWIW we went DRW for the double slide camper we ended up with and the mild off roading we do isn't hampered in the least. The added stability is welcome and if you ever decide to tow a toy once in a while, it is also nice to have the added capability without having to upgrade wheels, tires, springs etc.. Whatever you choose you'll really enjoy the convenience of being able to maneuver the TC, especially when it comes to picking a campsite as most are TC friendly, trailers not so much.
