I have a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5.2, 318 motor, 4x4 quad cab. I just bought a camper (2003 JAY FLIGHT BY JAYCO 27 BH) on Ebay where the owner said it weighed between 3500 and 4000 lbs unloaded. It was just what we wanted, within the weight we were looking for. So I bought it. Then I looked up another identical camper on another site and the dry weight was 4,895 lbs. But I had already bought the camper.
I have searched the archives on this topic but found nothing specific enough for my question.
Should I be worried that it weighs almost 900 more lbs than I thought? In my manual it says this truck can tow 7,200 lbs., yet why do I feel that just isn't right?
After we put some stuff in it we're looking at around 5500 lbs.
I'm not sure my gear ratio is.
Thanks
