Truck Camper?

[Avid]

Any one haul a truck camper with the 2007 5.7L DC Tundra? Been looking at these, but the one's I've seen require a 3/4 ton or larger to haul. Although there are some lighter, popup-type campers being made which I don't know the specifications on.

Thinking it would be nicer to haul a camper on the truck and my small boat behind the truck, as opposed to the 5th wheel/boat triple combo.

Thoughts?

Try lance campers. They claim the 805 and 815 are tundra compatible.
Another one is six pac campers. All of them will put you over your
gross vehicle weight. I have a palimino 1251sb pop up on my 2006 tundra double cab. I took it on a 300 mile camping trip and it handled great. I do have air bags in bags in rear. Your gross vehicle weight is more than my 2006 but your truck also weighs more so it is a wash out. I am convinced that toyota is way conservative on their axle limits and their gross vehicle weight specs. Trying to keep the lawyers away if you know wHat i mean.

ps. My camper has a queen bed, shower, toilet and heat!
