Putting your truck and hardside camper on a rollback will likely put your total height over 13' 6". You'd have to be very careful about going under any bridges, wires, trees, etc.
I've had to be towed twice in the last 25 years or so, and both times used a wheel lift on the front axle.
nycsteve, I don't think you need to be concerned about putting too much weight on the rear axle during the tow, as they don't lift it that high. If you have a TC that is longer than the truck bed, you need to make sure you don't lift the front so high that you risk dragging the camper jacks or bumper on the ground.
languiduck, do I detect a note of sarcasm is your reply? :W
The last time I was towed was 4-5 years ago in my '95 F350 when the clutch throwout bearing disintegrated about 20 miles East of Amarillo. There were several bridges between us and the tranny shop I was being towed to. Fortunately, the rollback that came to get us also had a wheel lift.
