Slide-in Camper in a 3500 DRW

[ulhpilot]

While researching slide-in campers, why do all the slide-in boys run the Dxxxx or Fxxx, but I almost never (I can say never because I haven't seen one yet) see a GM hauling a BIG slide-in. Some guys have said the IFS doesn't lend itself to big bed loads? Whats up? I'm ready to add a DRW to the fleet, do I have to jump ship?
PS I like the new Dxxxx body and CTD, but the GMC Duramax/Allison is not out of the running, yet.
Don't like the full-time spinning axle/front drive shaft on the Dxxxx.

My 3500 carries my big slide-in just fine. Even on forest service roads in the Sierras (not always the smoothest / best maintained route).

If you look at it historially you might be correct. But my impression is many of the new truck purchases are Duramax with Allison transmissions. You might take a look at the truck camper forum on RV Net and there are alot of Chevy/GMC outfits represented.

I believe most of us hauling larger truck campers are more than happy with our Duramax/Allison outfits. I drive alot on steep, gravel Forest Service roads and I love my outfit. Plus I seldom get passed by a F**d or D***e on the Interstates.
