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 page 203 for more information.

For any additional instructions, please contact your conversion/camper manufacturer or
an authorized dealer.
