Do you think this is overloaded?

Yes.

I can hear the "I told you so" from here. I wonder if it led to divorce.

That one strap tho.

 

[94Eddie]

Looks like the spare tire is mounted on the rear. I guess we know why.

Just need a strap on the front of the cabover to the front bumper, and it's good.

 

[Josh P]

Take the strap off and drag race up a hill

BTW, this picture isn't new.. it's from the magic of the social networks, it's been revived from the junkyard.

I read an article that this truck is still running around in Florida, with the camper still on it.

I realize this is entirely too serious a response to such a humerous picture, but IMHO, I think it's not overloaded (at least by weight) - those camper shells aren't that heavy, even with stuff (junk?) inside. OTOH, it truly appears the truck was hit - HARD - in the rear, causing the middle of the bed frame to buckle upward; I'm guessing that happened even before the camper shell was so expertly (Ha! LOL!) semi-installed on the truck bed. I notice the two wheel openings are about the same, indicating the truck is generally operating at a level ride height, thus my thoughts.

Wonder what Scott from YouTube channel "vehcor" would think (other than dying laughing....!)??

I've seen these trucks literally fold in half from a rusted frame. With the way that bed is already bent down I suspect it's only a matter of time and one good solid bump before that becomes a two-piece rig.

I think the dry weight alone will exceed truck load, especially if a half tone truck.
Good info I found:

How to Make Sure Your Truck Can Safely Carry a Slide-In Camper

How to determine whether a truck is weight-rated to carry the slide-in camper you wish to purchase.
