Congratulations on the new truck. Are you going to build an 18" or so spacer to keep the short bed camper from hitting the tail lights, or are you going to try to find the 830's long bed brother a 1040... The extra storage space, floor space, and counter space in the 1040 is awesome.
I'll build a spacer, I actually have to use a 4x4 now to keep from hitting the taillights with the short bed, the Ford short bed is 3 inches longer than a standard short bed. I usually throw leveling boards in-between the camper and the cab.
