Truck-Camper Loading Information

Notice: Installing a truck-camper to a
vehicle that is equipped with the SS trim
package could damage the vehicle. Do not
install a truck-camper on a vehicle equipped
with the SS trim package.
A vehicle specific Truck-Camper Loading
information label is attached to the inside of your
vehicle's glove box. This label 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 the 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 the following:
•
Everything else added to the camper after it
left the factory
•
Everything in the camper
•
All the people inside
The Cargo Weight Rating (CWR) is the maximum
weight of the load your vehicle can carry. It does not
include the weight of the people inside. But, you
can figure about 150 lbs (68 kg) for each seat.
The total cargo load must not be more than your
vehicle's CWR.
Refer to the Truck-Camper Loading Information
label in the glove box for dimensions A and B as
shown in the following illustration.
Use the rear edge of the load floor for measurement
purposes. The recommended location for the cargo
center of gravity is at point C for the CWR. It is the
point where the mass of a body is concentrated
and, if suspended at that point, would balance the
front and rear.
