Since you're in Tucson you won't have issues with freeway overpasses in the West. The East could be more challenging and it could be an issue in town. However, be careful when pulling up to the pumps in old service stations. I nearly did myself in at an Exxon station in Eastern New Mexico once, Demming I believe.
Yup, loading will take patience and practice. Check out a thread I added a few days ago entitled something like "My favorite Truck Camper Thread ever" to see an amusing, but pretty true threaf on the subject from 10 years ago.
I can't imagine that the backup camera would be much help in loading. It's a matter of going slow, watching your clearance on the wheel wells and being certain the TC is high enough, but not too high.
