Camper & Truck Size - Livin Lite Truck Camper Owner's Manual

Camper & Truck Size
Selecting the right combination of camper
and truck requires understanding a few
guidelines. Your Livin' Lite dealer can be a
valuable source of information when matching
a camper to your truck.
The truck bed is mounted to the frame of
the truck with mounts that allow for some
movement. It is important to allow enough
clearance between your truck and camper
to prevent damage during normal driving
conditions due to racking, twisting and
bouncing. The cab-over of the camper should
never be closer than 1 1/2" to the tallest point
of the cab of the truck. (This includes cab
marker lights or tracking system antennas, if
installed.) Also, ensure that there is a
minimum of 1/4" clearance between the truck
bed side rails and the camper wing.
Some truck models have a tapered bed,
where the bed depth is different between the
front and rear. This can make the camper
look tilted (front higher then the rear) along
the bed of the truck. It may be necessary
to place a bed mat in the truck bed to raise
the camper to gain the minimum clearance
requirements. There must also be a minimum
of 1/2" between the truck and camper at the
back of the truck taillight. Adding a spacer
at the front of the camper or in the front of
the truck bed can insure proper clearance.
Refer to your Livin' Lite dealer for proper
installation.
A Federal Certification Label is required by
law on all trucks. It is usually located on the
driver side door post. It lists the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR), the maximum weight
at which the vehicle may be operated. It also
provides a Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR),
the maximum weight allowed for each axle.
The GAWR, divided by two, is the maximum
axle rating for each end of an axle.
