Are you towing with a flatbed?

Some of you guys have some really nice rigs

First, thanks Jim for the help. I know what I did wrong. As someone mentioned earlier, it's made by Torklift and a 48" extension. We flat tow a Jeep and if we're traveling with just the camper and bicycles, the hitch and bike rack just clear the back of the camper.
The twin over/ under receivers are signature to Torklift and it's frame mounted. Quite stout!

Do you know who manufactures that arrangement Mike?

I just extent the trailer hitch instead of a receiver extension, that works fine for me.

Towing with utility body on Ram 5500

I'm picking up a custom flatbed tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes. As part of the customization process, I had them delete the standard 2" receiver it comes with and fabricate the bed so that the factory 2.5" receiver remains in place. I use a 48" extension (drilled at 42") that fits into a 2.5" receiver and has a 2" receiver on the other end.

If you're towing with a lot of tongue weight, you probably need to look at the SuperHitch or similar and have the truck bed built or modified as to not interfere with it. We're just flat towing a Jeep, so the tongue weight is minimal.

Greetings all, I'd like to know if anyone has mounted their truck camper on a flatbed, and also has some arrangement for towing as well? It seems that all I'm finding are hitches for regular bed pickups.

I'll also throw out there, that I have a Ford F550 as well, and I suspect that throws another wrench into the works too.

Thanks in advance!

Lots of campers on flatbeds and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a F550 without a trailer hitch receiver, so sort of confused by your question.
You have a bare chassis cab currently?
You have a flatbed on the truck but no hitch receiver?
You have any idea of the length of bed, camper, rear overhang that you’re proposing or thinking about?

I see very few and Joe’s is the first fairly good looking I’ve encountered.
