[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ overloaded trucks, Over GVW

[ronflys701]

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??

Ron,

After reading your latest comments on this thread, I took a closer look at the thread details. I see that this is your very first entry on this forum. I also now see that you have an attitude problem. Just exactly what were you trying to gain from your original comments on here? If it was to tick off some really nice folks, it would appear that you were successful. You insinuated that as a group, we TC owners are “almost all over the limit when fully loaded” and are a bunch of crybabies (“why is everyone crying about gvw”).

Now you come back on here and start throwing snide comments at folks that disagreed with your original assumptions. Well, here’s a suggestion for you. Take your charming attitude and heartwarming retorts to some other website where the ‘Golden Rule’ and civility aren’t expected or required. In MHO, you aren’t winning very many friends on this website.
