Looking at a Super Pacific camper for my Tacoma, but worried it'll eat up all my capacity and an elk will bottom me out. I was pretty maxed out already with my fiberglass topper, camp, and a big bull last year. For anybody who's got a similar setup, can you still handle an elk with it? How much did you have to mod or upgrade?
I've seen a lot of suggestions but kind of out of my depth here: new leaf springs vs add a leaf, sumo springs, bed stiffeners, etc. I know it's not going to change my GVWR but if it handles just a little better for the occasional heavy trip home, that would be great. The camper would stay on year-round but I'm not looking to haul big payloads constantly - just one elk in the fall. Hopefully. The truck is paid off, new trucks are expensive, so I'm weighing all this against having to buy a full size pickup.
