Wink Re: Using a truck camper is a very BAD idea with a Double Cab

[This may be true according to the specs. But I think you are underestimating the strength of a toyota frame and its axles. Let me give you an example. There is a lady from New England who carried a lance
815 camper extended that had all the ameniities and the dry weight was 1775 lbs. With all the gear and water, propane, etc. I am sure it weighed in at over 2300 lbs. SHe traveled all over the country including the Alaska highway on stock tires (standard toyota tires) Thousands of miles. It was on a 2006 double cab 4wd tundra! Way over the rear axle and gross vehicle
weight. Maybe the lord was on her side. Or maybe ignorance is bliss!!!
