Choosing Your Slide on Camper: Does Weight Matter?

YES!

Whether you choose Trayon or not. Choosing a slide-on camper involves a little more groundwork than simply choosing features.

The Trayon Camper is very light weight when compared to other slide-on campers, starting at 390 kg; it wont normally exceed your vehicles payload limits.

However, it comes down vehicle make and model, your vehicle accessories and what you want to take with you.

Most utes in Australia have an approximate legal payload between 600 kg – 1200 kg (vehicle make and model dependant).

This may sound like a lot, but once you equip your vehicle with:

Alloy Tray

Bullbar

Snorkle

Winch

Spotlights

Dual Battery

Fuel

Luggage

Wife & Kids

Food, Water

Cooking Supplies

The Dog

Slide on camper

Spare tires

You

You can quickly use that payload up. Which can land you in hot water legally and also with insurance if anything were to go wrong, not to mention the safety hazards of overloading your vehicle.

So choosing a slide on camper that gives you breathing room for your gear is very important.
