Truck Camper For Chevy Silverado 1500

the 2021 silverado 1500 has 2180 lb payload.

northstar (thanks for the tip) makes an 8' floor that weighs 2,000 - 2100 lb range.
however my research showed that new truck canpers cost more than i can afford.

i also cannot afford a new truck to go from a 1550 payload to a 2180 payload.

we had a pop up years ago. when i hit my 40's, my hands could not take the cold.
columbus day weekend we were camping at hither hills, montauk ny. time to pack
up a 30 mph wind, rain, boy did my hands hurt. that planted the thought that some
day i should get a travel trailer or a truck camper.

i am 66 now, kids gone the wife and i want to camp - travel again. there are 4 places near montauk were you can camp if you have an over night fishing
permit, 4wd beach permit, and 4wd pickup with a truck camper,

there is a 5th place that will allow trailers on the beach but not tents.

So you see why i want a truck camper. plus with a truck camper one can tow
a boat, a trailer, etc.

i have seen camper caps but you cannot stand up, cannot hold much, small
windows that will make them feel like a sweat box.
