Today's setup Last months setup After getting the new rig setup with tie downs etc and finally getting a chance to install the swing outs and load up the camper I was flat out floored. ...

I believe it's a forgone conclusion that a DRW will be more stable than the same (year/make/model) truck in a SRW configuration when carrying the same load. I mean, how could it not be--lol! However, certainly get the impression that a lot of the comparisons being made here are based on overloaded SRW's---some significantly. Comparisons made under these conditions would tend the exaggerate the actual effectiveness of a DRW. I believe if you compared a SRW carrying its maximum rated load vs. a DRW carrying its maximum rated load, the difference in handling would be much less dramatic.
Bottom line, you can make any truck (including a DRW) feel and drive like a wet noodle if you overload it enough.
