Exactly Wilshire and FFS I think GM should mail these people with sensitive noses some " nose plugs" , because their expectations of a sterile cab are over the top. It's a truck not a operating room.

Unfortunately up here in Northern Ontario Canada the choices were slim and Palominos would of been my first choice too !! but couldn't afford new (and dealer is 600 miles away) and no used ones around . ...and to go to a hard top version brand then to stay light you need to forego the bathroom ............., and to upgrade the truck with tiedowns was around $1000 and maybe upgrade springs if I had to go with whatever camper I found...it was just to expensive for what we would get in a 6 x 6 floor plan (plus overhead bunk)..........So now we see that we would get far more for the money, by going to a trailer camper instead (maybe 21 ft) and don't need changes to the truck and don't need to take the camper off during the weeks that I use truck for something else. goodluck with your Palomino............my research showed it to be a good brand and weight

Your driving circle to see.... must be small...........up here GM 1500's, Ford F150's and Dodge 1500's have been used for campers for decades, you just need to set them up, I am asking if anyone on forum has similar camping pursuits as me with their truck. And camper manufacturers even make them for Dakotas and Colorados and Takomas, and none of them are 3/4 ton.

Can we focus on my questions please. Has anyone here purchased a camper for their 2014 or 2015 GMC Sierra or Chev ? Anyone purchase a Palimino or Travellite or any other camper model that fit well without major upgrade to springs? And if you upgraded springs what did you use , and what attachment method did you use for the truck to camper hold downs? I don't need safety police about how much I can carry , that is my responsiblity and researched already.

Thank you for the brochure Calgator.....however it specifically shows that the GMC 1500 Double cab is considered allowed then because it is not on the list and the payload allowed is 1850 .............so you have sort of proven it is okay to use it. I already knew that. I just want to know if anyone on this forum has used and what they purchased and how they configured and beefed up if needed be.

Has anyone here purchased a camper for their 2014 or 2015 GMC Sierra or Chev.... 1500 series . (Not interested in the 3/4 ton folks) My truck is 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 double cab 4 x 4 with 6 and a half foot box , so it has roughly 1900 lbs payload allowed .So then the wet weight of Pickup Camper should not exceed that . (but maybe it can easily handle more?) Anyone purchase a Palimino or Travellite or any other camper model that fit well without major upgrade to springs? And if you upgraded springs what did you use , and what attachment method did you use for the truck to camper hold downs?

here's mine before we got snow !
