Looking to buy a truck camper.

The pricing on used seems to depends on just how used, age, and where you are looking in the states. A lot of states have very few offerings while others have lots. Colorado, where my jeep club son in law lives, seem to have quite a few as do the other mountain states and California. It takes time to find one you like in very good condition. Prices tend to go up in summer and hunting seasons. We saw many in the $6,000-$15,000 range when we were looking and that's a lot less than the majority of new, decently put together campers. Good luck in your search! We got a decent much older camper for $2,700 then added that much in additional fixes and add ons. The camper had no rot or structural damages outside of a few dents. It is now, however, over your posted weight at 3,000# fully loaded. We do haul it on an 04 model Chevy Duramax 3500 DRW that we bought new and used for work till the camper came along and truck required no after market suspension work. Apples and oranges maybe but an idea of weight. It is a 9'6" on a long bed and requires an 18" receiver extension to tow. Your need for no bed overhang and a short bed is what may be a limiting factor along with weight. I'm sure there's just the one for you out there but your truck may still need suspension, wheel and tire help.
