Normal running TV & FW GCW weight= 16,800lbs, TV GCWR is 20,000lbs
Real Wet Pin Weight=1,820lbs

I have the same truck 2002, so all I should pull is 7640lbs. I'M looking at a Cameo and think it's out of my towing range, darn it.
IM looking to be a full timer and shouldnt bought the truck first, what I thought was a good deal with only 78000 miles seems like I made a mistake. Looking for a 37 to 40 in length.
If I posted this wrong please except my apologies and ILL stand in the corner. lol Don

On my way home from the dealer with the new camper I stopped at the scales. This weight is with a brand new empty unit, the truck has no gear and only a ¼ tank of fuel. I am guessing all loaded up and ready to go for a weekend I will be around 19,000lbs or a little less. If there is a scale somewhere on my way camping loaded up I might stop to check the loaded weight.

What is the tow vehicle? If a 1T, it looks good to me.
