Good day
My son and I have spent the last two years rebuilding a 2006 ram 1500. It’s the quad cab with a 6 foot bed. It has an additional leaf spring.
Now we’re thinking of removing the pick up bed and building a truck camper on to the frame.
From what I can tell the payload capacity of this truck is 1400 pounds. I’m guessing the pick up bed weighs around 300 pounds.
Does that give me 1700 pounds to play with?
Meaning the weight of the passengers plus the truck camper plus all accessories must weighs less then 1700 pounds.
I’ve watched a few YouTube videos and I see a truck camper I would want to build which completed weighs 800 pounds.
Which gives me 900 pounds to play with people and interior accessories.
Just want to know if my math logic is correct.
Thanks
Alex
