I've been carrying my FWC on a HMMWV generator trailer.
I started doing some experiments with weight to see if putting the Granby on the Bronco could be doable.
I filled the bed of the Bronco with approx. 850lbs and drove around town.
Surprisingly; the Bronco barely knew the weight was back there.
After deciding it was doable; I bought 2"X12"X8' lumber for platform.
Here's a pic of said lumber showing Granby's footprint:
About the Bronco:
I'm a life-long off roader; as such, I modified said Bronco to handle the stress and abuse of off-roading.
In regards to the topic of this thread, the main mod that can handle a 900lb camper was the swap-in of an '87 Sterling 10.25" dually rear axle.
I swapped out the factory 4.10 gear and replaced it with 5.13 and a Detroit locker.
In addition; I used '99.5 front leaf springs from my old F-350 for rear suspension, along with Sky ORD 6" lift kit.
I also swapped in HMMWV tires.
