SLIDE-IN CAMPERS
SLIDE-IN CAMPER INSTALLATION
Consult your camper manufacturer/dealer for
details regarding proper installation of your
slide-in camper.
A dimensionally stable block spacer is recommended
between the headboard of the pickup box and the
forward edge of the camper floor. Resting the spacer
on the pickup box bed helps prevent movement and
contact of the fully installed camper with the pickup
box headboard or taillight rear pillars.
Note: Be sure to measure your slide-in camper before attempting to install
it onto the bed of the truck. Some campers may require a platform in the
bed of the truck to make sure there is adequate clearance for both the box
rails and cab roof of the truck.
CAMPER CENTER-OF-GRAVITY
All Styleside pickups that qualify for slide-in camper
bodies have camper center-of-gravity included on
the Consumer Information Sheet in the glovebox.
Data are calculated for each individual truck, based
on vehicle options.
If vehicle does not qualify for camper use, the
Consumer Information Sheet states that the vehicle
is not recommended for camper use, and no centerof-gravity
data is shown.
