Truck-Camper Loading Information
This label is
on
your passenger's side door near the
latch. It will tell you if your vehicle can carry
a
slide-in
camper, how much of a load your vehicle
can
carry, and
how to correctly spread out your load. Also, it will help
you
match the right slide-in camper to your vehicle.
When you carry a slide-in camper, the total cargo load
of your vehicle is the weight of the camper, plus:
everything else added to the camper after it left
the factory;
everything in the camper; and
0
all the people inside.
The Cargo Weight Rating (CWR) is the maximum
weight of the load your vehicle can carry. It doesn't
include the weight of the people inside. But, you can
figure about 150 lbs. (68 kg) for each seating position.
The total cargo load must not be more than your
vehicle's CWR.

Refer to the Truck-Camper Loading Information
Label on the passenger's door near the latch for the
A and B dimensions.
Use the rear edge of the load floor for measurement
purposes.
The recommended location for the cargo center of
gravity for the Cargo Weight Rating (C) is the point
where the mass of a body is concentrated and, if
suspended at that point, would balance the front
and rear.
