[QUOTE="gasman1, post: 1058675, member: 17627"] Keep your eye on the weight of the camper you are looking for. The average 8.5' campers weighs 1,900lb (dry weight) and a 10' footer will be about 2,300lbs. Weight will be an issue when towing a trailer behind your truck and camper. The average 8.5 camper is OK for a 3/4 ton, and the 9.5' -10' are more for 1ton rigs. I have a 8.5 Elkhorn and flat toe my jeep with my 3/4 ton. My buddy has a 11' camper and trailers his jeep, but he had to add air bags to keep his 1 ton from sagging. A new 8.5' camper will start at about $15,000. If you have the cash you can find a used one for around 5-8k on craigslist in the mid to late 90"s. The amount of money you spend will depend on how good of a camper you will get. Good luck in your search :awesomework: [/QUOTE]
