RE: 96 F-250 diesel, campers under 2300?
Front axle has nothing to do with it, once you realize that all or nearly all of the weight is on the rear axle. To be fair, a reg cab may put some weight on the front depending on the camper. The only reason to change Axle is to get rid of the TTB axle. For the obvious reasons around that thing.
Obviously you’re planning on supporting suspension mods for the camper. Do it right and I’d go up to 3500lbs or so loaded. Obviously the lighter it is, the more nimble it is though.
And then there's me. :)
I put my 950lb 1998 FWC Grandby in the back of my '94 Ford Bronco.
However; I did a Sterling 10.25 1ton dually rear axle swap too, with 5.13 gear.
Along with '99.5 F-350 leaf springs in said rear as well; rolling on HMMWV tires.

RE: Do pass-through windows leak?
Thanks for the info - we rarely drive in heavy rainfall and that could be a reason for no leaks.
I think the manufacturer is cost cutting - eliminate the cost of a sliding window - and keep the sale price the same = more profit.
Besides, how many people have a cat or dog that use the pass through window? Or need fresh air circulation in any weather?
I've custom ordered a 15" x 30" pass-through window to replace the factory fixed glass.
Waiting for delivery now. . .
How do you know it's "more profit"???
The cost of doing business also goes up......

RE: Do pass-through windows leak?
1998 FWC Granby
The 15 year it spent being towed on a HMMWV trailer: Zip/zero/nada leaks.
Since being mounted on my '94 Bronco: Zero leaks.
