I'll have to disagree on that. I never felt the 10' Huntsman on my truck. All it did is settle the truck about an inch and made it ride better. If anything the camper improved the center of balance.

Does the camper have to be "on" the truck for this camper thread? I guess the OP isn't around to answer, so... Enjoy!

I was just given a 33' 5th wheel camper, much like this one, from our trucks' era
