Apologies if this is old news, posting dates elsewhere show recent.
For those unfamiliar there are brackets mounted on the chassis to tie down the camper. Most are Torquelift brand and use existing holes and hardware, with a few additional pieces. NO DRILLING. We can't see on the picture what happened here in that regard, and it would be a camper related problem. There is also a CG range on the truck as per RAM, and the camper will have a CG location sticker, as it left the factory. BUT I see the largest camper made (Eagle cap 1150 or 1165 not sure, 4900 pounds EMPTY) with three slides, including a rear slide. AND i see two eBikes or light motor cycles on a rack. That is a LOT of weight aft of the axle. That said, personally I would like the front wheels to come off the ground before the truck breaks.
But there are also the rear cab mounts right there which are a combo welding/clamping. IF there is a problem here that affects all on THIS forum.
Now I'll let the experts have at it.........
