Over weight? Does it bother you?
From spending time in here lots of people have said that they were over weight with the camper. I'm over weight. Does it worry you? Does it keep you from going where you want to go? How much ...

Practical experience here. Our former combination of the truck in my signature and a 2013 Eagle Cap 850.
We traveled all over the northeast U.S. and Canada. The truck has airbags inflated to 30-35#, Rancho 9000 shocks, 3970# rated tires and a BigWig sway bar.
Never had any sweaty palm moments when driving. Truck handled like it just had a heavy load in the bed, nothing bad. Never felt unsafe. I wouldn't risk our lives if I ever felt otherwise.
Coming back from a trip we happened to drive by a CAT scale. The camper had about 25 gallons of fresh water and our gear/clothing/etc. Wife and I in the cab with her two large dogs in the back seat.
The truck had a GVWR sticker of 9500#.
Here's my CAT scale print out. We were on the road and 2280# over GVWR.
The reason why we now have a 5th wheel is because SWMBO wanted a couch, dry bath and a bed that she didn't have to launch herself into to go to sleep. I was happy with the TC.
