AF990 on F350 CC SRW
OK, so I've spent gobs of time reading about weights and trucks and what to do and what not to do. I've noticed many DRW owners have 9 foot campers and many have 11-12 footers, I've witnessed a Dodge...

So really, no one in a F350 DRW should be hauling anything bigger/heavier than the 990.
Which means all 1140's and 1150's should be on F450 or F550's
You make a good point!
The bottom line IMO is,if you can deal with the sway of the 990 on your truck,go for it.Lot's of people do it and with heavier campers than the 990.Heck,the AF-811 overloads alot of Dually trucks.
My Lance 480/9.6 says it weighs 2754 pounds/no-slide/no-basement and when I have it loaded to the gill in every fender well with tools/extra batteries/chains/shovels and axes etc...I am just barely under my GVWR and I have 4600 pounds of payload(Whatever than really means)..I most likely will be slightly over GVWR when I haul my ATV trailer.
I know sway very well with other campers I have had,it bothers my wife more than it bothers me..It bothers some and not so much others..
I say,if your heart is set on that 990,go for it..You will never get approval on an internet forum for being over weight by 10 pounds(laughing)...
