I beat Chevrolet to death in 2005 with this same "slide in truck camper" subject. The most convincing answers were...camper moved the center of gravity up higher, thus tire loading could be extreme if you swerve or are in a high cross wind (that's believable). Also, footprint with high COG is smaller and last, high frontal wind load on a large area (of the camper) makes small gusts amplify the load. I commented, so I have to stay below 165mph when encountering sudden, amplified winds gusts?
