Large Truck Campers: how practical?

This is actualy quite silly. The first pic is a dually with a large camper on it, and nothing looks that bad. as long as the center of gravity is in the proper place at or ahead of the rear axle this will be fine as long as you're not grosly overloaded.

The second picture is the same thing, but what's different? They put an enclosed car trailer behind it and added a **** ton of weight behind the real axel that is most likely at its limit to start with.

The first pic is all good, second pic, the owner deserved what he got.

Well in the first photo, the TC is fine for nice dirt roads. In the second he had it overloaded, on a dirt road with undulations pulling a trailer that was already stressing the chassis. A large jarring bump would be the straw that broke the Camels back.

you could go on lot of forestry roads with that first one that have wash outs and such. hard core 4x4ing no not really a stock truck isn't the best for that anyways, but if you take your time with the first set up you could get through some rough stuff, and for the second pic thats kinda what I said isn't it..
