Sorry, I'm on this forum every day and I have not once heard that you need an F450 for the heaviest campers. Some people USE them but that is a far cry from being told that you "need" them.
In your apples to apples comparison, there's a whopping 131 pounds of difference between the payload of an F350 and an F450. I thought you were talking about several hundred pounds here... That's not even enough to quibble over. If an F450 collapses on a pile from being overloaded by 131lbs, you've got way bigger problems.
My expectation is that the F450 will handle its 5069lb payload with no "helpers" while the F350 will sag badly under 5200lbs without airbags or some other form of helper.
