Thinking about a truck camper so I can boondock and tow my boat. Couple questions.....
I will need a bigger truck as a 1500 would be overloaded. Should I go to a 2500 or 3500(non dually) for a smaller camper around 1600 dry weight? I’m guessing around 2000 lbs wet plus towing a 4000 lb boat rig.
I typically lean toward Dodge.
Gas or diesel?? I have been told the newer big trucks are very close in fuel mileage so I’m leaning toward gas for lower maintenance cost. Is there any reason for the diesel? If I go to a 3500 I believe it’s standard on the Dodge.
Last question... Can I leave the camper on the truck and launch the boat without issue? I don’t want to take it off while on a trip, only want to remove it when I am not on a trip.
Just starting to consider so figured I’d see if there’s some experts here.....
