Seems like I should order a DRW, I think I will go that direction and figure out how to live with it.
Hard to understand someone else’s thought process and frankly NOMB (none of my business). But I’d suggest if you can drive someone’s srw setup and get a feel for it first, that’s better than the potential buyers remorse of having a “hippy” truck that you otherwise don’t want or need.
I wonder what makes the truck harder to maneuver in tight places, extra length or extra width?
Super crew cab and 8 foot bed will be long enough to get stuck in both ditches at the same time. And I don't think the fenders will stick out past the camper. If, as OP stated, most of the use will be with camper loaded, why even think about not buying best setup for that use?
No you don’t “wonder”, you know. But we all know you’re a professional driver. That makes a difference.
Although to be fair much of the dually concern is negated by the OPs location. Not a lot of city drivin in Northern Canada. Unless he means Edmonton as that’s the only real city that might be considered Northern Canada. Either way the extra tires are a hinderance once the ground turns white.
It’s the OPs first truck. Prolly find out he likes driving it in general more than whatever in Northern Canada. But that’s as much supposition on my part as yours.
The other fact is, the majority of the time it’s not hauling a camper, there will be snow.
But it’s always a compromise. Have a truck that’s better for hauling a large camper and have a truck that’s worse at other things the rest of the time, or vice versa.
