Considering a truck camper - truck advice?
Hello. We are considering buying a truck camper and truck. I'm going to buy a used truck and was wondering if there was a solid favorite among you guys. I started looking at 1999 - 2002 diesel ...

I bought a one ton Ford SRW to haul a camper, and found it to be top heavy. In the wind it is like going to sea. On mountain roads it does not feel safe to me.
A lot people have gone to air bags to firm up the suspension. DRW are best for larger campers, but I never wanted to drive one of those things in town.
I think you are asking a lot to have your whole family in a truck camper. They are best for a couple or a single person. You might be better off with a TT.
Don't go too big with your camper or you might regret it. Find a friend with one and drive it around before you take the plunge.
My wife put it this way "A camper is too much trouble to put on for a short weekend trip, and too small for a long trip." We sold ours and bought a trailer.
