First, I would like to thank all for looking and those who replied.
COG, I have studied to a great extent. In fact I turned down a couple of campers because the COG would not work on a short bed. As stated the extra length is between the cab and the rear wheel.
I do not want a dully. I have looked at them and seriously considered them. They just do not fit with where I will be spending most of my camping trips. Past the 4X4 sign on Padre Island National Seashore.
The weight issue I will deal with as I go along. I do not plan on getting a 3k camper for my next camper.
I read this board almost daily. I enjoy the trip reports and discussions about TC issues. I just would like to hear from people who have done what I am about to do. (Not receive a lecture on COG and weight issues.)
Thanks again on the comments and for all that have read this.
