SB camper on a LB truck

It can be done I've seen it, but not sure why you would not want to put a long bed camper in. Long bed truck. I've also seen import truck campers on full size trucks, there are all sorts of combinations on the roads this time of year.
The price difference is one thing, but the extra room you will get with a long bed camper is well worth the extra expense in my opinion.

Nothing wrong with putting TC with space left on front of the bed. Just make positive stop there.
Similar to those who put LB camper on 10 or 11' flatbeds.
When I had F350 who originally was Cab & Chassis, I was setting my big camper with a foot space behind the cabin. While beefed suspension did carry the higher load on the rear just fine, I had very convenient space for charcoal, gas cans, small generator and picnic chairs.

Big campers have COG behind rear axle straight from the factory.

If the COG was in front of the axle on a short bed truck then it will be in front of the axle on the long bed truck. The extra length of a long bed is between the axle and cab.

I'd want something sturdy in between the cab and camper so that it can't slide forward and hit the tail lights or ends of the cab.

Didn't answer my question as to why the Cg has to be in front of the rear axle.

Let me delve a bit further into that...

The Cg (horizontal) is varible depending on how the camper is loaded with stuff, whether the tanks (BW and GW are full or empty and if the FW tank (which is usually in the front is full or empty plus battery placement. consequently, a factory Cg means very little. Only a guideline and not much more.

Maybe the horizontal CG is important to know for those that use forklifts to move inventory around
