The same way the rest of the worlds trucks besides the rvnet weight nazis do it.....just fine.


And yet, the dually in the IRL photo looks like it's squatting to pee...

On a separate note.....I can't believe that is a real camper!
Watch those freeway over passes! Not to mention everything else an over height load may have to dodge!! Crazy!

And SRW! I'm guessing it had some kind of massive rear end upgrade. Or the 50s version of photoshop -- an airbrush!

All. My. Friends.
Love the low rider.

Seriously, though, I frickin' love that roof deck!

And the beehive hairdo. How does she avoid getting pine cones in it? Or bees?

That was my first camper in 1966. Not with all of the fold-outs though.

I had one sort of like the top picture, with the rear tipout, Without the top skylounge. Even with just the rear tip out, always a conversation starter at the campground. As a bit of trivia, most were ordered from the factory with the trim matched to the color of the truck the customer was going to mount it on. So 20 years ago or so, you could tell if it was mounted on the original truck. They were VERY heavy for the day, they were laminated panels, of 1/8 larch plywood on the interior, 1" styrofoam then a flat aluminum panel on the exterior, and not the modern aluminum that you can penetrate with a ice pick, the only way to put a hole in it was with a drill.

I wonder if those kids survived the fall off the roof deck.
