Loading patterns, load capacities and consumer knowledge in these areas were determined for 2,400 vehicles consisting of automobiles towing travel trailers, travel trailers, motor homes, and pickup trucks carrying slide-in campers. This data was compared to results from a previous survey in an effort to determine what improvements were made due to industry and government action. Vehicles were weighed as loaded for traveling and the suspension rating data was obtained from the vehicle manufacturers. The report deals with pickup trucks carrying slide-campers. Separate reports are available which cover motor homes, travel trailers, vehicles towing travel trailers and a summary of travel trailer tongue weight distributions.
