My flatbed deck is 42" above the ground when the truck is unloaded.

Come to think about it, it never changes. Makes aiming the headlights easy.. :B
I admit, it's a climb into the camper when it's on the truck. Something to think about depending on who you are and your conditioning/health, etc. Wife and I are fine with it, but can see where it's a problem for some. See what the future holds..
I have glow steps installed on my rear door and my wife fall on them once, not to mention that our dogs hesitate to use them.
I spend life climbing ladders, so not a problem for me, but still remembering that you need free hand to grab the ladder (serving as a railing) to leave does get annoying.
So at this point, even I am perfectly happy with floorplan and don't see any better, I am on the market for camper with side door.
Not too many around, but looks like they should be way to go.
