I am looking to get an F-350 to pull a camper that we have. The camper is 39.5 ft long and it is a bumper pull. The dry TW is 1353lb and the GVWR of the camper is 11512 lbs. I am aware of all of the weight restrictions and things to think about. I am worried about the sway of the camper. I have never pulled anything this long before. Would a dual rear wheel truck vs a single rear wheel truck make any difference in the amount of sway?? Any thoughts or suggestions would be great before I have to make a purchase. Thanks

I would suggest a dually for that big of a trailer for sure.

 

I think it depends on the year of the truck... The new 2011's (we have one SRW) have a system that electronically controls sway. we pull a 36ft gooseneck horse trailer and it handles it like a dream even with the shifting horses and everything.

There are other things to consider with a dually: car washes, parking, tires, etc etc

 

Everyone I know that pull with a dually say once you pull with a dually you will never go back
