    Damn, that thing is huge! Are you sure you have the towing capability for that and your horse trailer?

    Looks like it's going to work out a little over two tons. That should leave a pretty good margin for towing.

    If you can buy a plot of land and put your camper on it that can work out if you have to rent the prices are ridiculous at campgrounds nowadays.

    I don't think I've seen a slide-in with a slide-out before.

    My first home was less than that.

    Looks like a great choice for when you are in the doghouse or camping.

    I'm positive I am not seeing correctly due to the pics. But , it looks as if the slides are not going to be high enough to miss the sidewall of the truck.

    They will clear the bed rails with about 5 " to spare

    4 tires at 2900 each = 11600 pounds rear tire/ axle capacity Cat scales says 7500 on rear axle gives you 4100 pounds of possible tongue weight. Truck is Lic to 1500 pounds fully loaded I run at 13000 most trailers put 15% of trailer weight on the hitch. so unless something is really heavy I am fine. My horse trailer has a tongue weight of 1000 pounds with two horses and hay plus tack on board and the hitch extension with weight distribution hitch is rated to 1200 so I am good
