That's the thing, I have no idea how much tongue weight my camper actually exerts on the hitch. According to my camper's owners manual I can figure it out by using a standard bathroom scale and some fancy wood rigging to figure out the actual weight. But that process kind of worries me in the sense that the tongue weight my camper exerts will probably crush my measly bathroom scale. Then again this procedure is from 1978, probably when bathroom scales were better made. Anyhow, I'm mostly looking for an general estimate on the maximum weight you guys think that year and type of truck can handle. And I do have an equalizer hitch, but I've never used it.
