problem is if i wanted to put a lance 650 on the truck it would be to short to fill the
bed length wise.

i know that 1,550 lb pl limits me weight wise, but it appears all campers are made for 5.5' or 6.5' beds, unless you have a 1 ton truck.

i also do not want a pop up truck camper.

A 1550 lb payload means you should be shopping for a camper that weighs around 1000 lbs. Ideally 500 lbs but let's be realistic. :)

Even with a 1000 lb camper loaded and ready to camp you'll probably be over your vehicles rated capacity. Most of us are but we also verify we don't exceed tire, wheel, and axle ratings and many of us have added suspension mods to compensate.

There was a company, Six-Pac Campers that made a light weight hard side but they stopped building some years ago. You may be able to find a used one.

Another possibility - Cavecampers
