Yes, it is an ATX, the truck is $ 7000 CAD and no rust, perfect frame also, one owner truck. The owner said it never saw winter and an oil treatment was done on the undercarriage every year. I don't have much more info until I go and see it.
How much do you have to add to the dry weight to be safe, 1000 lbs ? I was looking into a TC with only shower and no toilet. I saw some new and used ones from 1000 lbs to 1400 lbs dry weight.

I think Quebec doesn't enforce the GVWR door tag yet but I heard from other owners that that the US customs, they do check the GVWR, even more so if you have a slide out TC.
I hate the jive that some TC salesman gave about GVWR saying that don't worry about it.
Thanks again,
