Suggestions which Campers are within our Pickup's capacity

We have a 2012 Ford F-350 4WD Crew Cab Long Bed XLT with the FX4 Off-Road package, 6.7 Power Stroke engine, and Single Rear Wheels. Over 30 years ago we had 2 Cabovers and we had sworn them off for Travel Trailers when we sold our last one.

Fast forward to 2017. We are now reconsidering this position and are toying with the idea of another Cabover. There were no such things as Slides back then and they have really made Cabovers much more livable. We are looking at the offerings from Lance and Arctic Fox and would like suggestions from the community as to which specific models are within the capacity of our truck, instead of relying on salemens' "recommendations". I know that a dually would be much more friendly to a large Cabover but we did not want to sacrifice off-road capability due to their extra width. Our truck's GVWR is 11,500 lbs. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
