hy, is pretty safe if you take care of 2 issues: the legal payload and the sway. you could search for the Northern lite 9.6 camper the basement model is around 1700 lbs and is a very good fiberglass camper. fiberglass is the best and it is lighter than many pop-ups.... the basement model is at...

after seeing the video of earthroamer.com running air bags in front and 2 per wheel rear I'm thinking more and more try the firestone level-rite air-shocks for front.,it will be stiff on highway and soft off road. control the vibration by deflating the air shocks instead of deflating the tires...

hy, good shocks are a good improvement if you already add a leaf or 2 my suspension guys here put one more leaf and took out the 2 OEM dodge ram 3500 overload leafs and fabricate some heavy duty ones which also act like stoppers at a certain amount of sway with service box with camper I have...

hy, the weak link are the tires put 10 plies Michelins if possible and 5000 LBs air bags and I saw SRW with 5000 lbs campers on it. but the lighter the camper the better it will handle ofrroad situation, better mpg , less stress on engine, suspension etc hope this helps incognito

Hy, stay dually so much stable and safe you,ll like it so much traction with 4 rear wheels is incredible.cut the box to fit the dually and suspension. that box is heavy you'll have sway dangerous off road . had my truck SRW on 19.5 for 2 month only and switch back to dually now I'm happy...
