In addition to relocating the forward box wall, you will need to shorten up the sidewall rear skirts. I don't expect you to be able reverse this later unless you are good at joining and patching Filon.
I also used a short bed AF811 on more than one truck. I went from a short bed F250 to a 9' flat bed 5500 knowing I would AF a couple more years before upgrading to a triple slide. I used the space between camper and truck to store my spare but had room barbecue, generator or fuel cans if wanted bring those items.
Some Lance models had bolt on rear side pods to convert the camper for short bed use, but this is not the case with the Arctic Fox.
Thanks for posting Bedlam. I just got off the phone with Clint from Northwood and the verdict is in......."No can do" he said nothing is impossible but he said that the factory wouldn't do it and recommended that I not try it myself. I think you are right in the fact that this is easy to do on some Lance models but the 811 would be very difficult. I guess that I'd better conceive Plan B.
Thanks to everyone that replied and offered help and suggestions including d3500ram.
I bet you're pretty excited about the new Mammoth!!
