Long box camper overhang - Problem??
We have a Bigfoot 9.6 on our 2010 Dodge Ram 3500. Both the Bigfoot and Ram are long bed models, however, we have an auxiliary fuel tank in the front of the truck bed so the camper doesn't sit up agai...

Yes, it does tend to "bend" the bottom structure.
I've seen it on my Arctic Fox 1140 and my old Eagle Cap 1150 and both of those campers were designed and and used to fit to the truck properly.
And both were built with very long overhangs.
Looking at the rear tie downs and how they are applying tension to the rear overhang tells us that that rig wants to bend or break the frame of the camper.
Is the internal structure of the Big Foot sufficient to withstand this type of improper mounting?
Probably not.
