Triple Slide Host on SRW
Saw this truck/camper camping this week and was wondering how heavy the camper was. Don't recognize the model but it had 3 slides. Truck was SRW with Vision wheels and looked like he had a Geo Track...

That is a 4500 lb Host Everest (dry weight) on a long bed crew cab Ford. The rear axle has a 9750 lb OEM rating and with Vision rims gives him 9000 lbs of it available with PR16 LRH tires. Expect the truck to weigh 3000 lbs on the rear axle when unloaded, so he has about 1500 lbs for water and gear. Flat towing behind it adds almost no tongue weight.
Thanks for the reply I like your analysis. I could be wrong but I would have expected the rear empty weight to be higher than you stated with the 19.5's. But I do think he is still probably running a few hundred pounds less than the 9000 vision rating fully loaded. Not a margin that I would feel comfortable running however.
