1150 vs. 990
I am planning on getting a Chevy or GMC 3500 4X4 duely long bed pick up. The Artic Fox dealer is offering a better deal on the 1150 than the 990. My wife likes the added floor space of the 1150 but ...

Mike in Oly, it's not just about the weight of the camper, but how it sits in the bed. I found the AF990 to be a great fit for my extended cab dually. It's "center of gravity" point (COG) is just forward of the rear axle, so 96% of the total weight goes over the rear axle. I previously had a much lighter Lance 11.5 that had it's COG way behind the rear axle, made for some poor drivability as I really had to work to keep the truck from wandering as too much weight was pulled off the front axle. Although a COG location does not seem to be an important issue, it can significantly effect drivability more than the actual weight of the camper. I see that Northwood does not list the COG points?
