DRW vs SRW safety, tire blowout
Every time the DRW vs SRW debate starts up, dually owners always point to the safety of having 4 rear wheels in case of a blowout while driving. What I am wondering is has anyone actually experienced ...

^Absolutely. The primary/main/#1 advantage of a dually is more tire and wheel weight capacity. And consequently less tire deflection than same load on a srw. Not static, but dynamic deflection.
#2 is usually duallies have a heavier OE suspension.
Both contribute to stability in the context of Truck campers.
It’s mostly what folks “think” make a dually more stable that is false.
Same reason when I get a new milquetoast half ton company truck with P or XL factory tires and need to load it heavy, I increase the air pressure to basically whatever makes the tires “round” in a static configuration. If that’s 10-20 psi over the max “rated” pressure, so be it.
If the tire is gonna pop from overloading it will pop whether it’s round or squishy. But it won’t generally just “pop” from over inflation or load but it will heat up and blow out more readily at the “right” pressure for the tire and the “wrong” pressure for the load.
