The camper mentioned is an ultra heavy camper and at this point one has to question the wisdom of buying such a camper and a heavy duty DRW truck to haul it around and pay double the cost of a Class C motorhome that will have more usable space.
As has been written often, in this forum, how important it is to match a truck to a camper.
I once brought attention to a photo, by a Truck Camper Dealership, of a Heavy Lance 1172 camper on a Ford F250 SRW (He has since gone out of Business) and received horrific blowback. I soon discovered one should be a mind reader and know that the Dealer really was just using the F250 as a yard Jockey and sometimes make deliveries out of state. "I have done it many times and never had a problem," was his answer. While there was nothing saying that this truck was being recommended, it should be the responsibility of a Manufacturer or Dealer, not to provide representation that is possibly not safe or acceptable, for that particular camper.
