Choosing a Montana Truck Camper

Truck campers are popular with Montana hunters, anglers and travelers who want a compact setup and access to smaller campsites. The correct match begins with the truck—not the camper. Payload capacity, rear-axle rating, tire capacity, bed length and center of gravity all need to be considered.

A half-ton, three-quarter-ton or one-ton badge does not by itself establish compatibility. Check the truck's actual door-jamb payload label and account for passengers, gear, water and accessories. Some campers require a long bed, dual rear wheels or specific tie-down equipment.

John can help you identify available truck campers and the specifications to verify. Final compatibility should always be confirmed using the truck and camper manufacturers' ratings.
