I ran for years with an aluminum boat on top of my rigs with rollers.Number one,there not that heavy but it does takes two to load it.

I am totally amazed at the new generation of truck campers, coupled with the internet to ad fuel to the fire.

In the old days as posted above,it was common to see an 8' plus overhead camper hooked up to a horse trailer and were talking trucks with a GVWR of like 7200 pounds...No broken axles/cracked rims or blown tires and the camper was tied down with stake pocket tie downs.
I agree with everything you say except that now a heck of alot of people drive like maniacs, and a TC with that type of setup could easily fall victim to some imbecile running into the back of you.
Wow how the internet has changed truck camping!
