My Ram has no sticker on door, glovebox or anywhere else about NOT being able to carry a truck camper

Mine didn't either, but I have seen them in other HD Dodges and it has been discussed at length on the Trubo Diesel Registry.

Who carries a truck camper dry? Wet weight on a 1150 is 4,812 lbs not including people and supplies.

How is it possible for the same camper (if it has the same equipment) to gain 1500# going from dry to wet??

Just sayin'

I know when I order my F350 KR there was a camper package you could add. I think it added sway bars. Heavier springs... ART

I was thinking the same thing but wasn't going to argue. Water is approx 480 lbs if tank is full. 1000 pounds of gear and clothes I guess
