Truck Camper Forum _ General Discussion _ Which camper for truck?

Posted by: ToniFranklin May 30 2018, 07:48 AM

Hi,

I am wanting to build a truck camper this summer. I am having trouble choosing which plans I should purchase, due to not knowing how much weight my truck can handle. I have two mid 80's Chevy trucks, both 1/2 tons with 350s. But the one I will be using has 2 extra leafs on each leaf spring. My brother in law tells me that makes it a "heavy half ton". But I am unable to determine what this means in how much payload it will handle. Does anyone have experience with this and could tell me if it could handle the 1350lbs to 1700lbs of the 9ft to 11ft models?

Please help.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

Have you ever considered a truck bed tent?
