It was your setup that got me thinking. Everyone has got me concerned because they claim a greater vehicle height with a flatbed setup. But when I look at your photo and Super Daves above there doesn't appear to be much difference in the space between his cab and yours.
When I speak of wings I mean any type of outriggers that would interfere with a utility bed in front of the rear wheel wells. Anything that would keep the camper from sliding all the way forward. Of course I couldn't have any part of the camper extend below the utility bed . The Camp Lite appears to be one that would work in that regard. But it has wings that start right at the end of the wheel wells on a regular 8 foot bed. I am not sure if they would modify those or even if they could be.
I am not planning on ever taking the camper off. In fact permanently mounting it should allow me to register it as a RV. DMV just says permanently mounted.
I figure on a few modifications. But I wouldn't get crazy.
