Very expensive but really good.
We have a lot of weight up high (the floor inside the camper is over 6 feet up) and it manages it very well.
Current weight: 17,840lbs.
Pros:
It "arrests the sway" so the camper doesn't keep rocking back and forth
I can raise/lower 8+ inches. So when at camp...
Truck: 2022 F550 Lariat with 7.3 godzilla. Primary upgrades: Liquid Spring suspension and 41" super singles.

Some pics from today:
I have a 2019 NL 10.2 LE EX and there are no drain holes from the interior (it is water tight) but the "external storage compartments" do have drains in the bottoms - i.e. generator compartment and propane tank compartments.
We have a 2015 F-350 diesel dually. Our 2019 Northern Lite (10.2 limited editon, dry bath) truck camper weighs 3380 dry... and add 500+lbs for fluids & stuff.

I have a 2015 F350 and was going to put one of these on the front for bicycles or a dirtbike carrier.

Picked a 2019 NL 10.2 LE up last week.
After 8 years of Sprinter Van Life we're loving all the extra space (and we're now 4x4 and only 3 feet longer!)
...and from our first weekend out this past weekend:
Nice pics!
Any tips on mounting the maxtrax to the tire?
