I don't care how many reasons you want to give a dually is the only way to go for a truck camper.
I daily drive my dually. It goes thru bank and restaurant drive thrus a couple times each week. It fits in parking spaces just fine.
Yep, I agree. Never had any problems with gas mileage or checking tires and the width of a parking spot. I'll swear on a dually over a single any day but everyone has a preference. Not being snarky, I just don't have some of the issues that others have. I pretty much just load and go. Every time you check a tire you let air out of it. I stopped doing it years ago. I check my oil/fluids once a day when I'm driving. I just got tired of doing it at every fill up. JMHO
