Depending on the accessory
design, use a spacer under the
accessory at the load points to
remove gap. The holes for the
Cargo Management System (C)
are not intended for attachment
of aftermarket equipment. See
www.gmupfitter.com for additional
pick-up box load bearing structural

Truck-Camper Loading
Information
A vehicle-specific Truck ‐ Camper
Loading Information label is
attached to the inside of the
vehicle's glove box. This label
indicates if a slide-in camper
can be carried, how much of a
load the vehicle can carry, and
how to correctly spread out the
load. It will help to match the
right slide in camper to the
vehicle.
Your dealer can help make a
good vehicle-camper match
and help determine the Cargo
Weight Rating (CWR).
When installing and loading a
slide-in camper, check the
manufacturer's instructions.
When carrying a slide-in
camper, the total cargo load of
the vehicle is the weight of the
camper, plus the following:
.
Everything added to the
camper after it left the factory
.
Everything in the camper
.
All the people inside
The CWR is the maximum
weight of the load the vehicle
can carry. It does not include the
weight of the people inside. But,
use about 68 kg (150 lbs) for
each seat.
The total cargo load must not be
more than the vehicle's CWR.
Refer to the Truck-Camper
Loading Information label in
the glove box for dimensions A
and B as shown in the following
illustration.
Use the rear edge of the load
floor for measurement purposes.
The recommended location
for the cargo center of gravity
is at point C for the CWR. It is
the point where the mass of
a body is concentrated and,
if suspended at that point, would
balance the front and rear.
