Truck-Camper Loading Information
This label is inside your glove box. It 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 your 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
everything else added to the camper after it left
the factory,
0 everything in the camper and
all the people inside.
The Cargo Weight Rating (CWR) is the maximum
weight of the load your vehicle can carry. It doesn’t
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
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.
