I sure as hell don't want to fry the skin on my FW if I don't have to. Banks claims their Monster Exhaust, with more of a side delivery, prevents this. Just looking for real-work experience if it's even something to worry about.

Nice truck!!
I think your answer lies in whether the exhaust points directly at the camper and how close it is. Not something any of us can answer other than the GM tailpipe does face more rearward than the other 2 brands of light duty diesel pickups.
Yes the Dmax (and Flowerjoke) tailpipes are designed to create a Venturi effect and cool the exhaust gasses at the end of the stream with fresh air, I dunno how much it lowers temps but if all else fails you can modify or replace the tailpipe tip with an aftermarket piece, worst case.
