When the truck is used to carry a slide-in camper, the total cargo load of the
truck consists of the manufacturer's camper weight figure, the weight of
installed additional camper equipment not included in the manufacturer's
camper weight figure, the weight of camper cargo, and the weight of
passengers in the camper. The total cargo load should not exceed the truck's
cargo weight rating and the camper's CG should fall within the truck's
recommended CG zone when installed.
Secure loose items to prevent weight shifts that could affect the balance of
your vehicle. When the truck camper is loaded, drive to a scale and weigh the
front and rear wheels separately, to determine axle loads. Individual axle loads
should not exceed either of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR). The total of
the axle loads should not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). If
weight ratings are exceeded, move or remove items to get the total weight
below the ratings.
NOTE:
These ratings are also provided on the vehicle certification label located on the
driver's side B-pillar. See "Vehicle Loading" in "Starting And Operating" for
more information.
For any additional instructions, please contact your conversion/camper
manufacturer or an authorized dealer.
