1st off Wayne, loading the camper and measuring the wheel well distances sounds like a good way to do it, I don't think at this point loading the camper on the truck would be a good thing. I figured before taking up the guys time with loading etc I would ask some guys who have been through it and know ie. "hedge" giving me first hand knowledge of what did work, it seems reasonable that the Elk Horn is not right for me.
So correct me if I am wrong that the 8'6" campers would be the ones to check, If I can find a good one at the right price then talk to the guy and suggest loading it on my truck to measure wheel well distances and check on COG.
Does anyone have any opinions about the campers with tail lights vs the ones with out? Am I right that the ones with taillights are for shortbeds also?
My f 250 is 6'6" with the tail gate up and 8'6" with it down.
I did run into a guy with a Dodge megacab short bed with a 9'6" camper with tail gate down and talked with him he reported that the truck handled fine no problems what so ever, he seem to think that his truck being a 3500 and the tie downs attached to the frame made a difference.
