Large Truck Campers: how practical?

Jim you make a good point about the overhang. I removed everything I could from my 4 foot overhang and the the front end still bounces a bit. "In my opinion" The large TC industry is going straight to the 5500 series truck and the small TC industry is going straight for the 1500 series truck. That leaves the rest of us to deal without the most efficient design for a truck camper. Why can't they design a truck camper with the weight forward and standard on the mid range models? I included this article to make my point. All these campers fit extremely well on the 1500 series trucks and I think the industry could do the same for the 2500 and 3500 series trucks. Keep the length and size but move the weight to the front of the rear axle.

Probably because once you up to a 1 ton, it's not much more to go to the 4 or 5 series and you get a noticably bigger living space with the giant campers. Anything from a 3/4 ton to 5 series is a lousy off road vehicle anyway.
