DRW regrets?
For those of you which have gone from a SRW truck to DRW, do you wish you had just gone with a lighter TC and stayed with a SRW?

- It is not in the nature of a true RVer to "settle" for what is practical or safe. You're supposed to get what you want!
If you want a big heavy camper and don't want a DRW truck, there are all sorts of aftermarket parts you can bolt, glue, or ziptie on to your truck to make it "legal" to carry the load.
Seriously, I do not regret my DRW for a minute, even though I have a camper that I could probably haul with a 1/2 ton. I use it for other stuff, and it will haul or tow just about anything. - My only regret is that I bought a single wheel and had to take a loss to get the correct truck later. As a daily driver it's the length of my truck that gives me the most grief the extra width is secondary.
- I've questioned my camper choice more than the truck choice. I'll always wonder if I should have gotten a bigger camper, not a bigger truck.
- I don't have a TC, but do have a DRW truck that I daily drive. 99% of the time I don't mind it at all. About the only time I start to dread it is when I have to wash it and can't zip through a quick wash type place.
- I don't regret moving to a DRW, but I did lose versatility. It's huge versus my previous SRW Supercab. I already had the camper, so I really didn't consider going lighter.
- My biggest gripe about a DRW is filling and checking tires.
- I've driven a dually for years and only 3 drawbacks that I can think of- (1) When it's time to replace tires you're buying 6 instead of 4 and (2) when empty they are not very good on slick roads and (3) you don't fit thru drive-thrus (McDonalds, Wendy's, etc.) very well.
- I love mine.
