Re: '90 Chevy 1/2 Ton 305 V8
Thanks, everybody, for the replies and helpful information! I had the truck looked at and was told it should be okay to haul it- I have overload springs, and I found out the camper was only a little over 1,000 lbs. I drove about 2 hours away and picked it up. Bringing it back was a bit scary (I definitely need mirror extensions!), but we made it over the bumpy roads in one piece. ;) All the jacks worked great, they had the tie downs, and I checked the electric and everything powered up. It does need a water tank, but that shouldn't be a huge $ issue. There didn't appear to be any water damage, and it is in decent condition inside and out. I am starting a new job next week, and when I have the finances, I'm going to do some rebuilding... maybe I'll start a thread- I have some cool ideas :) Thanks again for explaining where to find information, for providing a lot of it, and for the general help/tips. I'm excited to be a part of the community, and when I dive into this thing, maybe I'll learn something so I can help some other newbie in the future!323Views0likes0Comments'90 Chevy 1/2 Ton 305 V8
I recently bought a 1990 shortbed Chevy truck, and I'd like to get a camper for it. I found a shortbed camper that fits perfectly, but I'm worried about the weight capacity. I would really appreciate some feedback on whether or not it's safe. I know there are a lot of threads out there with this same kind of question, but I couldn't seem to find any info that would help someone very new to this (me). Here are some pictures of the camper. Thanks so much for your help!4.3KViews0likes14Comments
