Biggest truck camper not for f450 550
I've noticed people saying that an f450/550 is needed for the heaviest truck campers?? You guys realize that the f-350 dually has a higher payload right?

I agree with the the above. When I was looking, I wanted maximum payload and it was in this order:
F550 chassis cab, F450 chassis cab, F350 DRW chassis cab, F350 DRW pickup, F450 pickup
The selling point of the F450 pickup is its towing ability and not its payload.
I do not agree that you need custom fabrication to use a chassis cab. You can choose an off-the-shelf utility body or flat deck and be done. My only limitation was using the SuperHitch Magnum which required a bed with a low enough skirt to clear this monster and something that had a headache rack under 4' tall so it cleared the the truck camper cab over. Because I used the low sill model of the deck (to bring deck height lower), the rear skirt had to be notched to clear the receiver vertical supports.
