What are your experiences and thoughts about your set up?
Did you do anything extra for suspension mods after buying a larger camper?
No preaching here, but you asked! When I purchased a 3500 dually Ram and put an 11 foot cabover on it I needed overload suspension bumpers and air bags to have 'just right' handling and I am picky about how it handles in the mountains and especially on roads with tight curves. Both the overload spring bumpers and the air bags worked. No comment on how much you might go over gross but for me 1000 pounds on a 12,200 pound gross vehicle weight truck would be near my comfort zone max since the brakes of the truck must stop the entire truck and cabover in deference to a fifth wheel or travel trailer that has it's own brakes.
