3500/2500 srw or drw
I've been thinking of upgrading my 845 lance camper to one with a slide. Preferably a 971 or similar dry bath camper. How stable are the srw trucks with the additional weight?

I've had my same TC, a Double Slide Host 9 1/2 for just over 11 years. For 8 1/2 years, I had a '06 F350 SRW Super Cab. After about 6 months I added 19.5s to have room for error for the tires. It was my daily driver and a DRW just wouldn't have fit.
Funny enough, even the F350 SRW Super Cab was too long when I changed jobs. So, it wasn't my daily driver anymore, and I traded for a F450 DRW.
No question that the SRW was much easier to park and actually would go about anywhere I wanted. The F450 turns much tighter, but it's longer and wider.
Of course, the F450 is a better TC hauler and I no longer worry how much extra stuff I carry. Because it is a F450, it also turns much better and the brakes are awesome. It also has 19.5s. The ride is smoother, but maybe that is the Bilstein 4600 vs the Rancho 9000s I had on the SRW.
I wouldn't hesitate to have another SRW if situations required that I change again.
