Refer to the Truck-Camper Loading Information
label in the glove box for dimensions A and B
as shown in the following illustration.
Use the rear edge of the load oor 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.Here is an example of proper truck and camper
match:
A.Camper Center of Gravity
B.Recommended Center of Gravity Location Zone
When the truck is used to carry a slide-in camper,
the total cargo load of the truck consists of the
manufacturer’s camper weight gure, the weight of
installed additional camper equipment not
included in the manufacturer’s camper weight
gure, the weight of camper cargo, and the weight
of passengers in the camper. The total cargo
load should not exceed the truck’s cargo weight
rating and the camper’s center of gravity (A)
should fall within the truck’s recommended center
of gravity zone (B) when installed.
