However, not everyone wants or needs a slide. There is a huge assortment of full-featured, hard-side, non-slide, 9-9.5 ft., short-bed campers from every manufacturer that work just fine on a SB SRW.
with the SRW you will pretty much be limited to the smaller lighter truck campers with less space and options . . .
Agree, in terms of raw payload capability, you cannot beat a DRW. However, it doesn't take much searching to find a late model SB SRW with over 4k of payload. That's more payload than some old-school DRW's. In any case, for those of us who may use their trucks for a lot more than hauling a camper, a SB SRW is a very nice compromise that offers less length & width (easier parking & access, less HOA restrictions, etc.), shorter wheelbase (better maneuverability), while still offering ~75% of the payload of a DRW.
