Hi.
I would like to know wich camper do you recomand me for my 1500 Sierra?
May be only pop up camper, what do you think about this?
What is the payload capacity rating of your truck?
Report back. With that information we can be much more helpful.
Oups sorry I forgot.
The payload is 1510 lbs
My truck is an extended cab with a short bed 6,6 ft
If you want to be under the rated capacity you are going to have a fairly minimal camper and event then it is going to be a challenge. Remember, everything is included in the payload including you, any passengers, and all the stuff you bring. In addition, things like 10 gallons of water (83 pounds), a camper battery (65 pounds), propane - you get the idea. I think you are probably looking at a camper with a dry weight under 1000 pounds.
Some possibilities:
Capri Campers (as others have mentioned)
Some models of Panther campers
You can see more information and get a feel for weights looking at the Truck Camper Magazine buyers guide;
