Well, your post above is good to hear and why I left an aire of “it may work just fine” in my responses. Until now, you hadn’t posted anything that even alluded to the fact that you’re satisfied with how your camper hauls. And it could easily be the opposite of what you just stated.
I will add, the paranoia about tailgates and TCs is somewhat unfounded by some folks. It’s situational for sure.
But I do agree with the direction you’re headed for hitch receivers. One other thing to consider if you don’t go with a dual tube truss like a Tork Lift, is the total amount of sag at the end of the extension. The longer you go, the more the slop in the hitch connections and truck ride height exaggerate that and could leave you potentially with the end of the receiver tube a bit too low for practical use. Less of a concern if your truck is 4wd.
