Truck camper on a flat bed
What are pros / cons of considering a nice flat bed dually; the flat beds that have the tool boxes mounted underneath the bed look like they could be very user friendly.

I've been looking at doing this with a new CM built flatbed model SK that has the boxes (2) on each side built right into it. My measurements indicate an 8" rise in camper from a stock pick up box. I'm still undecided if the $4500 price plus the $1000 install costs are worth it.
Have any of you looked at upgrading the capacity of these flat bed receivers? I'm afraid that with an extension, something like this would not work for a 7000+ lb trailer. I really need the capacity of a Torklift SuperHitch.
The hitch on my regular work truck is a bit more extended than most..and it regularly hauls 14k; truck GW's at 33k. I can't speak for all, but any quality bed should have no problem carrying/hauling regular loads that the truck was intended for.
