The quick and clean way to figure out how much camper you can put on your truck is figure out rear axle weight capacity, and tire capacity. Then go to a cat scale and weigh your truck with a full tank of fuel. Subtract the rear axle weight from the rear axle capacity, and subtract rear axle weight from tire capacity. Whichever is less is your actual payload capacity as a truck camper will not put but a few extra pounds on the steer axle if any at all. Example: rear axle weighs 3300, capacity is 6600, 3300 from 6600 = 3300 payload. Now go find a camper that weighs 2300lbs. The reason is you need to allow 1000 lbs for water, propane, gear, food and clothes. Trust me it all adds up!
