    Not much at all. Mine is 1030# dry weight and it needed airbags.
    No problems once the airbags were installed.

    Look at the payload rating on your door sticker. Subtract weight of driver and passengers and any other extra gear in the truck.

    What you have left over is how much extra weight you can put on your truck.

    The Tundra does not have that great of a payload rating.

    What does your camper look like? What model/year is it, what construction, etc?

    Ive looked into them too, it seems like we can haul the units that don’t have bathrooms. Those typically are built minimalist enough
