The GVWR apllies to whatever weight you have on the truck itself. So, whether it's a camper or trailer you are hauling, you can only have as much weight on the truck as what the truck is rated for. If you know how much the truck weighs, you then add weight of gear, fuel and persons in it, then you subtract that from the GVWR, that will give you the amount remaining that you can legally add to the truck. Also, that weight could be the weight of a camper, pin weight on a 5-er or hitch weight on a tag-along trailer. Hope this helps.
