Looking for standard bed campers/ for Dodge MegaCab truck

A friend of mine has a newer Dodge with the Mega Cab & I think that's the standard bed ?

6 foot?

So I'm trying yo help him find a inexpensive used truck camper that would fit. & thought why not ask the super helpful people from this site ?

Any links would be appreciated or names of model to look up or ?

Thanks.

    For a short bed I'd look for a Lance 830. They are one of the few SB campers with a side entry. I love my side entry camper. I tow a lot or have a bike rack on the back. The door is always easily accessible.

    We are at work with out his truck & I just put the thought into his head.
    Trust me he will check the bed tonight.

    & why do you say it does not matter if it's a 1500/2500 or 3500?

    I do know it's a SRW 4X4.


    No it doesn't matter in SRW. In fact a 1500 Mega and a 2500 mega are the exact same truck with different badges. Eng choices aside, they are otherwise identical for a given model year.

    Just found out its 2011 3500.

    That will at least give you a prayer at a descent camper. It absolutely would matter what size truck for weight and distance of COG behind the rear axle.

    Lots of campers that fit short bed trucks. BTW the Ram short bed is 6'6" if I remember right.
