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.

Fwiw
Ive seen camper caps made of fiberglass that are high enough to stand up in.
Used mostly by contractors to carry tools and such.
Not sure of the name tho
Found it its called
