I'm looking to upgrade the truck camper we now have and I'm not sure how to determine how big a camper we can get that will still clear the hitch for our trailers. One trailer has a flat front, and I suspect the crank handle for the trailer foot could also be a clearance issue. We have an F350 truck w/an 8 foot bed. TIA!
The size camper camper you can get will be determined a lot by whether you have a SRW or a DRW. People will debate where the limit is for a SRW, but the general consensus is a 9-10 foot, no more than 1 slide. Of course, do your research, check weights, etc, don't take my advise as the gospel.
That being said - as others have already said,
Torklift Superhitch with whatever length
Torklift SuperTruss you need is your solution for towing. I have one of the larger combinations here, an 11 1/2 foot double-slide camper towing a 26' Wells Cargo 10,000lb trailer.
Superhitch is DOT rated and approved to go up to 5 feet of extension. I have a 4 foot extension, rated at 1,200lbs tongue weight, 12,000lbs towing. No other hitch has that rating.
