Thanks for the reply! Bought a older F350 dually so no problems now. Wife and kids love the truck and especially the camper! We take it everywhere!

Thanks for the reply. Loaded up the truck and camper and took them to a cat scale today. 960 lbs over. Went right home and unloaded camper and started looking for a new truck. I'm not gonna put myself or anyone else at risk driving that around. Thanks again for the reply!

Hello Everyone. I'm new to forums and truck campers. So please excuse me if I do this incorrectly.
I just purchased a used palomino maverick 6601. It took me two years to convince my wife, but now she loves it. We have used it twice so far and hauled it roughly 500 miles or so.
Problem now is I am pretty sure I am over weight by about 400 to 600 lbs or so. Now she is ticked! She said....."I thought you knew what you were doing!?!"

My truck showed 5,980 on the cat scales and the weight of the dry camper will add 1,771. Putting me at 7,751 lbs. And I still need to get my wife and two small kids in there. So that'll be another 200 lbs. GVWR sticker says 7,200 lbs.

My question is how bad is this for my truck? It is a company truck, so I really don't want to tear it up.

Good for a little while? Sell the camper(like she says)? Get a personal truck with higher payload capacity(pretty sure she won't go for that)?

How bad am I in the doghouse?

Thanks in advance.
