Is a dually too wide for a 7 ft camper?
Can anyone tell me if a dually is too wide for a 7 ft flatbed camper? This question may sound silly so I apologize beforehand for my ignorance. This is a spinoff of another post discussing the lack...

The Escape Pod pictures at Northstars web site show happijac`s . The two northstars I`ve had have had happijacs on them.
I`ve put two 7' wide popups on duallys before one was a northstar , both had happijacs , its not the best situation but it can be done . You have to use happijac dually swing outs with 2" extentions that happijac sells , that will get you wide enough , but I dont think northstar would advise it , its putting more stress on the mounts to the camper
I know the weight can add up fast but you are starting with a very light camper to begin with , dry -no options is 1990 lbs , only holds 20 gal of fresh and 15 of grey with a cassete toilet right.
If you use a dually wouldnt the flat bed be 8' wide , you would have flat bed deck sticking out on both sides of the camper
I think you would be best off with a 350 or 3500 SRW truck, long bed and a alum 7' wide flat bed , as others have said your going to save weight if you buy a truck with a bed on it and remove and replace with a alum bed
Is there a reason you dont ask Rex or Rory @ Northstar these questions , they are very helpfull
