oscarvan Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Truck campers are designed to fit in a regular bed...... not sure how it would fit on the bed that truck shows..... Enough engine/rear axle for sure..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee Jay Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 I have seen at least one TC mounted on a hauler bed. They usually have tool boxes mounted between the bed and the camper, and no visible typical chain mounts, so maybe a thru-bolt between bed and camper.

LindaH Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Truck campers are designed to fit in a regular bed...... There are truck campers made to fit short bed trucks. *Most* truck camper manufacturers make at least one model. Or perhaps you're talking about a camper being put on a hauler bed? Here's a picture of one (note the TorkLift tiedowns I mention in the post below): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the last truck camper we owned, we used the TorkLift tiedowns: http://www.torklift.com/index.php/products/tiedowns/tie-downs I don't see why these wouldn't work on a hauler bed.

hdonlybob Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Other than the mounting (which would not be major issue) yes I think that would make a good hauler...based on acceptable engine and other specs.. Good luck and Cheers, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob52 Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Thanks for the information and I'm just going to look for a short bed dually in a dodge or ford. I've never owned a Dodge truck before. I did own a CJ7 Jeep which was real bad on rusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
