I have a 2500 1998 Dodge Diesel 12v and my gvw is 8800lbs I bought an older as light as possible camper no hot water or built in shower just furnace,stove and regular sized bed ...not a Queen as most have now and Im almost over the weight for my truck ...my question is 99% of every truck camper has put the weight over the limit of the gvw when loaded....and I have talked to many eye to eye in the campgrounds so why is everyone crying about gvw you are almost all over the limit when fully loaded unless you buy a 550 ford or equivalent. All the swaybars lifts airbags may help control the load but nothing can change the max weight for the truck...Naturally Im talking about hard sided and not popups??

I am over too but I just drive it like its over and so far no problems. I drive a big rig so I can handle being a little over
