What is the payload capacity rating of your truck?
Report back. With that information we can be much more helpful.
Oups sorry I forgot.
The payload is 1510 lbs
My truck is an extended cab with a short bed 6,6 ft
If you want to be under the rated capacity you are going to have a fairly minimal camper and event then it is going to be a challenge. Remember, everything is included in the payload including you, any passengers, and all the stuff you bring. In addition, things like 10 gallons of water (83 pounds), a camper battery (65 pounds), propane - you get the idea. I think you are probably looking at a camper with a dry weight under 1000 pounds.
Some possibilities:
Capri Campers (as others have mentioned)
Some models of Panther campers
You can see more information and get a feel for weights looking at the Truck Camper Magazine buyers guide;
