Davlin Campers
Hi all, I have been obsessing over truck campers for a couple of months right now as I try to figure out what is going to work for me. I had almost resigned myself to the pop-up TC, when I saw this...

Exactly. Not just that but emergency stopping. If you are hauling a barge on the back, your stopping distance increases dramatically.
I've actually spiked the brakes on my old 97 with drums in the back and discs in the front and with my camper, I can lock all 4 wheels up, no problem. I'm sure it takes a longer slide to stop it but I can, can you? Of course I don't run, run of the mill pads or shoes. Drilled and slotted rotors in the front with ceramic pads and high friction shoes in the back. I know what I have under the wheels, I installed them.
Don't want to be running Granny Zog over if I can help it...or a deer or an elk that might pop out in the road in front of me.
Because my Cg is low, I can actually swerve without rolling the truck, another reason I like a pop up.
