I never thought much about the shocks in the bed until I realized MANY Camper Specials didn't come with them. As far as effective I can tell you, it might have been better then not having the shocks but we DID NOT have a big Camper an it swayed a lot with our smaller Camper. So yes I would tend to agree it was a gimmick. I think the Dually back then would have been muck better suited to a Camper then even my truck.

But Thanks for the comments.
