Can You Put a Slide in Camper on a Lifted Truck?

It’s a common question among truck owners interested in getting into the RV lifestyle.

The good news is, it’s possible to have both a lifted truck and a slide-in camper. But, as with any combination of modifications, there are certain considerations you should take into account before making any decisions.

The first thing to consider is the height of your truck and the size of your camper. When you lift your truck, you increase its overall height.

That can cause problems if your camper isn’t designed to fit onto a taller vehicle. However, if your camper is designed for a taller truck or one with an extended cab, it may fit without any issues. If not, you’ll need to look at customizing your camper or finding one that is specifically designed for lifted trucks.

Another important factor to consider is the weight capacity of your truck. When you lift it, you also increase its weight capacity.

This means that you can carry heavier loads than before. It’s important to be aware of this fact when choosing a slide-in camper because some models may be too heavy for your modified vehicle.

It’s also essential to check the suspension and brakes of both your truck and the camper itself. If either has been modified in any way, they may not be able to handle extra weight or strain that comes with having a slide-in camper attached. Make sure all components are up-to-date and in working order before attempting to attach anything.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, it is possible to put a slide in camper on a lifted truck as long as certain considerations are taken into account first like the height of both the vehicle and the camper, its weight capacity, and ensuring that all components are up-to-date and in working order. With these factors taken care of beforehand, it’s possible to enjoy an RV lifestyle with both modifications intact.
