The long bed is nice for laying fishing rods flat or having the extra cargo space,but if/when I sell my 05 GMC 3500 I would most likely replace w/ a standard bed 2500 or maybe even the Ram echo diesel.
    Would your camper work with a 2500 truck?

    Yes, as long as it is a long bed. My camper weighs b/n 2200 and 2400 lbs.

    That camper would work with a short bed as well. My Lance 855 had an 8'11" floor and was designed for a short bed.

    make sure the truck you buy is equipped with a camper package. Many ARENOT and salesmen will lie their asses of and tell you it can carry one. Friend of mine had to file a lawsuit against a Ford dealership. Specifically went there to buy a truck to haul her Truck bed camper. Even arranged to have ealer put it on, got in her brand new truck opened glove box to a paper that said.
    Warranty void if a camper is installed,, or some such verbage. Has to have a package on it. Probably sway bars.

    I wanted a camper to use for weekend getaways and be able to pull my boat. I have a 2002 Silverado 1500. Payload was right at 1,300 lbs, not much to work with. I just could not get my head wrapped around a new or used 3/4 or one ton truck prices. So I make what I had work. Only added airbags which were not totally necessary, but I liked being able to adjust the level. Bought this cowboy camper from www.capricampers.com. It's not meant to be a long term camper but just a place to sleep. Weighed about 1,100 lbs wet.
