    I had a Shadow Cruiser slide-in built for small trucks. Used it with my ford ranger. The base weight was 1150. But when you add water (if you use the tank) propane, groceries , blankets, cooking stuff, food, and whatever you put in the camper, it adds up. Plus you and whoever else in the front, plus whatever you you have in the cab. the ranger was listed at 1500 gross weight and I was always over the limit. I put on a pair of Helwig helper springs on the back and had load range E tires.

    Had this label inside one of my trailers. The brochure had listed dry weight at 2950 but that didn't include the added options which brought the weight to dry weight 3230. Options where things like heater, microwave, AC. So anything in the brochure that's listed as an option won't be included in the "dry weight" from the brochure.
