Payload question for my dually

Have a 94 f350 CCLB 2wd dually with the IDI turbo diesel and auto trans. Looking for a slide in but unsure of how I determine my payload capacity? Truck has 4.10 gears with limited slip. Would posting a pic of the tag on the door help?

Figuring your payload rating is easy, run your truck over a scale and subtract that number from your GVWR of 10,000lbs, that will be your allowable payload number.

You are mostly worried about rear axle capacity. On a CCLB hardly any of the slide-in camper's weight ends up on the front axle. The last Lance 11.5' with the extended overhang only put about 200 pounds on the front axle and around 2,600 pounds over the rear axle. With your CCLB Dually I'd bet you could put just about any camper on, and only worry about weight if you have a heavy trailer to put behind it.

Don't forget to do your math including passengers and cargo.

Still have to worry about weights with the newer larger campers. They are heavy, especially with the slides.

Good point, I forgot about the units with slides. Never had to deal with them.

If you're close to the payload limit, you could suggest to your wife that she go on a diet. However, there could be some unintended consequences from that request.
