Anyone Using Cabover/ Slide in Camper with there trucks?
I am looking to purchase a Slide in or cab over camper pretty soon. Was looking for insight on if there are guys/girls on here that use one of these with there trucks. Everything I have researched on the internet seems to say its 50/50. I have seen pictures on google of our year trucks with cabovers and some of the older ones look huge and i'm sure are much heavier than todays campers. or at least a little. Some have no problem and others say its white knuckle. I wouldn't be driving with this thing on anywhere but highway and camp spots at the local fishing grounds. I am looking to buy one like the ones in these pictures. From what I can tell on the attached chart my truck should be good up to 10,000lbs.
My truck is rated at 7500 GVWR k2500 72 Sierra Grande. I do have airbags in the rear rated for 5000lbs, Disc brakes front and rear / Eaton ho52 with 4.11's / th350 with gear vendors unit / 4" lift and 35 tires F rated 12 ply. Just don't want to buy something I cant use or have to use on my modern truck. The slide in is also about 400 miles away but its all highway. That would be a horrible time to learn I made a bad choice lol I plan on paint matching the camper and my truck this winter. I would appreciate thoughts from your experiences!!
