This setup is over weight, but not as bad as you would think the truck weights #8100 on the scale with camper hook to it and full of fuel and water. its not fun to back it in my yard!!

That's a land train. Wow. Weight and all aside, do you ever get grief over it? I am assuming you might be popping over a couple weight ratings (but it's your truck so that doesn't bug me since I do it too) but what about length? They'd be on that like white on rice here. Awesome setup though!

Its 74 feet long, in MN it can be 75' total, as far as weight, if the camper is dry and nothing in the bed of the truck its under total GVRW by about 100lbs. I never camp over 200 mile away from home, also no scales to pass over, if there was I would have kept my 2010 ram cummins. Also have never seen under 8MPGs with the ECO, my cummins never got over 9 pulling this setup.
