SB camper on a LB truck

Problem is the same length camper will make your rig longer on a SB truck than a long bed truck. The camper is roomier because it is a bigger camper. However, a 9-2 camper designed for a short bed truck will stick out the rear almost 3'. This will mean you will need a hitch extension like super truss if you plan on towing anything.

A 9-2 camper designed for a long bed will only stick out the back about 14". It will also allow you to tow most things with a simple 12" or 18" extension.

There is a reason that the camper is still on the lot. 9-2 on a sb is a long camper.

But it is a way to cram more camper space on a short bed truck. Having hauled around a 9' camper on a sb Dodge for a while now I can say the length isn't an issue.
Besides does anyone know exactly how far that 9.2 will have to sit back? May not be as much as it seems just by thinking difference in bed lengths.
Also you're correct, sometimes that long camper will require more trailer hitch accessories to get hooked up, but it depends on the camper.
One of the reasons I honed in on the AF campers is the overhang stays at bed level. No drop section or lower bumper. This allowed me to hook my trailers with a 12" hitch extension. Some trailers will work with this some won't.
Disclaimer, I couldn't jackknife any of my trailers with this setup, so not ideal but it worked and I happened to have a longer extension I packed with just in case I got into a tight spot and had to jack knife the trailer.
Just pointing out options.
