Need recommendations TC with 1st floor bed.

Looking for a TC with a dinette bed at least 6' long in a TC that doesn't extend past the rear bumper. I realize I might have to get a truck with an 8' bed. These old knees having trouble climbing into the over cab bed. Thanks.

    Wolf Creek 850 dinette bed is very long at 78" (6'6"). The same layout is available in a 8' or 6-1/2' bed configuration. I'm 6'3" so I feel your pain with small spaces.

    My old KIT has a dinette bed near 6' long, but she's an 11' camper and definitely extends past the rear bumper, so an 8' would definitely be needed.
  • Not knowing what all amenities you might want, but I can say this: My 6'-3" frame fit on a NorthStar TC-800 portion of the dinette.
  • several guys I shoot with had there knees replaced and wish they did it years ago :).
  • You can get a larger TC that has the floor above the bed rails. This give you very little climb height into the cab over. Adventurer, Eagle Cap, Host.
  • Chalet has a truck camper ,that the bed is not a big climb to get in,but the extra steps are on the outside. Plus its a camper that requires a dually,forget the model number.
