I've never experienced any TC I've owned damage any truck bed so I don't follow, it they are mounted correctly the truck bed should be fine.
Well, that's good, especially with a heavy camper like you're already hauling.
But 2-3 tons in a truck bed does take it's toll. Plenty of damage has occurred even in rigs that the campers were properly secured.
Even our "little" AF 860 smashed down the bed corrugations a bit at the rear and dented the front of the bed (when I trusted the rubber bumpers and didnt hard block it off the front of the bed).
To your question, indirectly, I saw a big EC camper on a newer dually yesterday. Passed on the freeway so only a glance, probably a 11xx something model didn't catch a rear slide in the rearview mirror but it had a big 4' ish rear overhang.
It's one of the only campers I've seen that made a dually look a little "bent" or certainly saggy. Must have been quite heavy.
