This story is of more concern than the winter driving issue...

I mean, if several people reported swing out bracket failures, then maybe it would be a concern. Here it's a one-off thing, which you will have to expect for any product. Nothing is 100% reliable.
Even without the dually brackets the jacks could still collapse and dump the camper on the ground, so maybe you should get rid of your truck camper. What a ridiculous notion!
The point is you're already taking many risks. It makes no sense to draw the line at this.

I only have a couple snow trips on my DRW. It does tend to float more than my SRW and I would not like the drive if I did not either have the TC on the rear or 4wd engaged. My SRW had many snow trips and also was not that good in 2wd when empty due to the heavy diesel up front and light bed over the drive wheels. Once I started taking the TC skiing, I used 4wd much less than I used to in previous years. Where I live much of the snow is right at the freezing point, so it gets slick in hurry once you apply pressure or heat from the tires to it. My DRW has traction control where my SRW did not - I'm still getting used to that in slick situations and how it reacts verses having to control spin myself.
