Need advice on my first camper truck

Thanks for the ideas. I don't think a DRW rig would do too well on the jeep trails - haven't seen them out there too much. Alaskans have a reputation for being heavy, but it's not really deserved. I compared half a dozen 6.5-foot-bed popup campers and the total weight variation for similarly equipped rigs was from 1318 (Four Wheel) to 1675 (Northstar) pounds, wet weight. That's only a 20% difference from lightest to heaviest. The Alaskan is 1570 lbs. Since then I've refocused on an 8-ft rig but the proportional differences are the same, with the weights all about 400 lbs heavier.
