Yes if there's no plumbing or structural reason sounds like a simple task. Northwood should be able to confirm.
However its the comment "...so I can upgrade to a AF 992 or 1150 in a couple years..." that makes me wonder if worthwhile. DRW should be less affected by weight transfer so dealing with the 18" back for a while less a hit than modifying camper. If you really hate it might force the 'dream' camper into reality sooner.
Maybe it does not matter- but selling or trading modified camper seems
might decrease its value to the point getting replacement that much further out? Then again might open larger market if more long beds in your area.
The 811 can be converted to either version at the dealer level, however I'd like to do this work myself. A new truck will cost between $70-80k and another $30-40k for a new TC....not in the budget for the next couple years. Maybe I could start a Go Fund Me account! As I said in my original post.....I won' t put a short-box camper in a long-box truck.....this has been argued before. An 811 can be converted back to the SB model to make it saleable to a SB truck owner quite easily.
Thanks for your input.
