I am new to the truck camper family and I have a question what maybe someone answered already. Sorry I couldn't find that topic.
We own a 2014 Ram 3500 6.4L crew cap, SRW, long bed GVWR is 11400 lbs. Payload is 4500 lbs. I went to the scale and got 4000 lbs. for the front axle and 3000 lbs. for the rear axle empty. The camper weight is 4300 lbs. wet We found the TC weight calculator and when I put my numbers in I got that the truck and camper weight is below GVWR, the payload is below the sticker 4500 lbs. but the rear axle is 330 lbs. above load rating (7000 lbs.) My question, is that true that the whole camper weight is sitting on the rear axle and almost no weight is transferred to the front axle? Thanks for reading and your response. Frank |
