Large Truck Campers: how practical?
I just noticed this photo of a TC that is on a for sale site is very large being 18ft overall with 12ft 4 inches floor. How practical are large Truck Campers Off Road? It is actually a Custom build ...

How practical is this top heavy monster on a small trail? Excessive overhang and a high centre of gravity. A photo of a broken RAM 1 Ton went viral showed what overloading and the fulcrum effect can do. Should large Truck Campers be more like Expedition Vehicles? Expedition Vehicles do not have broken chassis
This is actualy quite silly. The first pic is a dually with a large camper on it, and nothing looks that bad. as long as the center of gravity is in the proper place at or ahead of the rear axle this will be fine as long as you're not grosly overloaded.
The second picture is the same thing, but what's different? They put an enclosed car trailer behind it and added a **** ton of weight behind the real axel that is most likely at its limit to start with.
The first pic is all good, second pic, the owner deserved what he got.
