Re: Came across this...
Nice! Glad it worked out.
My c30 put around 4,500 on the scale without any bed, so I’d guess around 7k with the utility bed and camper.

Re: Came across this...
Me too! The empty weight with just the bed is 5,900lbs, with the camper over 8,000lbs the tow truck bed was swaying back and forth just going 30mph!

Re: Came across this...
Lots of ideas for the truck, first will be getting the hood open and checking out the engine. Sadly it doesn't look like the camper will be salvageable, years of water leakage has rotted out the wood and it would need everything replaced so going to remove it and probably tear it apart and send it off to the dump if no one wants it.
Need to decide on some wheels/tires and start going through it.
