You are worrying about something that doesn't matter.

I would revisit the weight issue, I think you are going to be way heavy, right off.

I might be mistaken but from what I have found on the TS116 I shouldn't be exceeding the weight capacity of my Ram 3500 DRW. But I will go back and double check.

Waiting now to see if I can get this deal to go thru. As they say if it is meant to be then it will happen.

Just to add to this. Yes I understand and know ANY triple slide camper is going to be HEAVY. But other than going with a C&C truck in the 4500/5500 range I got a truck that had the largest payload in 2018/2019. My Ram 3500 DRW 4X4 has a payload capacity of 5600lbs. The TS116 has a dry weight of approx. 3800 lbs. So loaded weight might be 1K lbs more? And as I stated when I am ready to start traveling semi-full time I plan to install my camper onto a gooseneck which means I can haul more weight if I choose.
My truck is rated to tow up to 25.5Klbs on a GN trailer. I won't be pushing anywhere close to that.

You’ll be fine but never scaled mine loaded but had the opportunity to speak with the gentleman that was major part of design n build of the TS116 n told me the sticker is a big lie on its weight they had to put something low on it or it would never sell that a fact from him, but said loaded water propane batteries your stuff pushing 6000lbs,just filling the water adding 544lbs

now those are some real #’s i would believe. Sounds like you found an honest guy that knew how to tell the truth.

Camper weights, and dating are the two biggest lies going. [emoji850]

So in the specifications in the brochure I have a photo of it shows dry weight approximate 3695lbs wet weight approximate 4203lbs I will try to post pictures

5050racing · 08-19-2020, 05:21 AM

Maybe this is clearer

5050racing · 08-19-2020, 05:46 AM

I farm n tow many things up to 25,000 often n these trucks just love it so I’m not too concerned about the weight owned camper 5 years now n towed it to do many things work play n never a issue just be careful n have truck mods to handle it.

Awesome and thanks for the pictures. I'm still waiting to see if I can get this unit financed but things are looking fairly good. Just have to hope it doesn't sell before my deal goes thru.
