Since I had the opportunity to completely empty the truck and camper, I decided to take a trip to the scales to see the result of the many mods and upgrades I have done over the years. I attached my "empty baseline" form for the complete picture.
I included the Word document in case a 5th wheel camper owner would like to modify the form for their own camper.
The results were quite educational. In order to carry the DW's supplies I will need to really think hard about what I put in the camper.
Truck alone weight with me and 3/4 tank of gas - 7,260 pounds
with a GVWR of 9200 pounds
With the empty camper on, the truck can only take another (9200 - 8620) 580 pounds of people, truck cargo, and additional pin. The joy and the sorrow of a diesel in a 2500HD.
Gonna take some careful loading of the camper to keep from overloading the truck, for sure.
