Truck-Camper Loading Information
Notice: Installing a truck-camper to a vehicle that is
equipped with the SS trim package could damage
the vehicle. Do not install a truck-camper on a
vehicle equipped with the SS trim package.
A vehicle specific Truck-Camper Loading information
label is attached to the inside of your vehicle’s
glove box. This label will tell you if your vehicle can
carry a slide-in camper, how much of a load your vehicle
can carry, and how to correctly spread out the load.
Also, it will help you match the right slide-in camper to
your vehicle.
When you carry a slide-in camper, the total cargo load
of your vehicle is the weight of the camper, plus the
following:
Everything else added to the camper after it left the
factory
Everything in the camper
All the people inside
The Cargo Weight Rating (CWR) is the maximum
weight of the load your vehicle can carry. It does not
include the weight of the people inside. But, you
can figure about 150 lbs (68 kg) for each seat.
The total cargo load must not be more than your
vehicle’s CWR.
Refer to the Truck-Camper Loading Information label in
the glove box for dimensions A and B as shown in
the following illustration.
Use the rear edge of the load floor for measurement
purposes. The recommended location for the cargo
center of gravity is at point C for the CWR. It is the point
where the mass of a body is concentrated and, if
suspended at that point, would balance the front and rear.
