Never crossed my mind. Duh?Originally Posted by stosh
There are some truck campers that will go into the short beds on 1/2 tons. Not sure what your cargo capacity is on that truck, but here is one. https://www.lancecamper.com/truck-campers/650/
2020 Triton 206 Allure
Mercury 250 Pro XS 4S Serial # 2B642047
Bravo XS 22p @ 4.5" PTP
Minn-Kota Terrova 112 w/ IPilot
Lowrance Ti2 12" Console
Lowrance Ti2 9" Bow
Lowrance Point 1
Standard Horizon GX2350S
Shakespeare QC-8 Antenna
Four Wheel Campers makes one to fit.
Thanks guys. I'll check the gross on this thing
I have checked out a few of the truck campers and while they are nice they are very cramped. At 6'5" myself I prefer my tent as i can stand up in it and it has enough room for the wife and I and all of her stuff.I got a 10 man tent from Sam's Club and it has worked great so far.

Man up, build a fire and throw out a sleeping bag and saw some logs.
Tent makes the most sense. You could make 3 A frames for bed & tailgate and make your own truck tent.. there are truck tents that extend 5 feet past the bumper to the ground. Get a patio chaise cushion for padding. Check out youtube for ideas. A good 4 man eureka or ? tent for $200 is best bet.. 4 man doesn't take any more room than a 2 man when packed..don't cheap out on tent..rain, wind, zippers won't last 4 trips with a cheapy...

Some at this link fits your bed. As you mention above, check your cargo capicity and axle ratings first and then go from there. I have the Northstar Laredo SC and absolutely love it!! Good luck with your search and decision!
Those are really cool!http://www.northstarcampers.com/pop-up-truck-campers

Thanks Adam! I think the tent deal is the best for mehttp://www.northstarcampers.com/pop-up-truck-campers

Big Guy, Understand and good luck! They make a hard side (Liberty) that would fit your Ram, but the interior height is only 6'4", the same as the Laredo. The reason I mentioned the pop-up for you is that the inside height on them are 6'7". Even at 6'2" I still hit my head on the A/C sometimes, but worth it.
Tom, They are cool.....and the customer service at Northstar is second to none. All they do are truck campers and none with slides. They've been doing it since 1955. If you're in the market for a truck camper, check them out.
To get a visual, just took out my new Northstar 850SC with new 2020 Ford F-350. But it's only 6'4". For a short bed the 650 would work.
