There is a F450 pickup and chassis cab. The pickup has a GVWR of 14K lbs verses the chassis cab of 16k lbs. The chassis cab would be a better choice with a utility box or flat bed. If you plan to tow heavy behind it, look at the F550 with a 19.5k lb GVWR.
A flat bed on a pickup truck in California means you must stop at all weigh stations, so that is no go in my book. I am not sure about a service body, but I believe they must also stop too.
The Host Mammoth moves the weight forward when you add any water to it's tanks; they are all forward of the axle. The center of gravity is higher than non-basement campers, but it's all tolerable with the proper truck setup.
