Help me choose a slide out Truck Camper!
I went to Barber RV in Ventura today to look at a few slide out truck Campers & have more or less fallen in love with the HOST Mammoth rig. My concerns are that the slide out are all above the bed...

Your truck may come into play a bit. I see from your profile you have a 97 3500 dually. That may not be enough truck for a Host Mammoth for the comfort level you describe concerned with being top heavy in the wind.
We just traded in an 04 Ram dually that had a GCWR of ~4500 pounds and our Arctic Fox 1150 was noticeable on the back overloading the truck by a bit.. I think a Mammoth would be heavier. Our new truck has about 1,100 pounds more cargo weight rating and it feels better, especially on twisty roads and in strong crossroads. We are now at about GVWR and GCWR with a single slide Arctic Fox.
The Arctic Fox floor sits over the wheel wells and below the bedrails. The slide obviously over the bedrail. AF also has pretty large holding tanks so storage under the camper is limited.
