Is there any particular reason why the camper is not up flush against the front of your bed? Doesn't that throw the COG behind that rear axle?

Jesse[/quote]Yes, there was a reason.  The truck was set up with the "Ram Box"  It wouldn't allow the camper to go in all the way.  There was a question if it would work at all, but it handles great.  We tested it before the final purchase to make sure.  The truck has the factory airbags and leveled the camper right out.  It really was amazing.    Owner has driven to the beach and back a couple of times now and said he can't even feel the camper.  I'm sure that is a bit of an exaggeration, but I could see it handled well.  I would feel comfortable doing it again.  The rig worked out better than any of us thought it would.

Yes, it is a 5'5' bed.
