A lot of people think that the 4WD extended cab heavy duty deluxe monster diesel engine dually model of a truck has the greatest payload and towing capacity when in reality it's usually the stripped down regular cab 2wd versions. The guy made some bad assumptions and no way he's going to get reimbursed on that one.

Yeah, I'm guessing the water, sewer and propane tanks are all located in the low overhanging rear section.

Actually I've read that he welded the tie downs to the frame. It broke at the welds. The guy posted pictures of it in a FB group. Of course it has all been deleted now. Don't weld to a heat treated frame.

The towing capacity on that truck is enormous but that would be the load pulling straight back (horizontally) on the length of the frame. The camper has a large weight on the end hanging off of the frame and that leverage will find the vertical weakness in the frame as the force tries to rotate the rear downward. You can bend a paper straw in half but it is much harder to pull it apart horizontally from both ends.
