Great pics guys.Thx for adding them to the conversation. In the last pic the set up actually looks better than I would have thought !!
Looking at the overhang for sure I'd want some kind of support underneath, be it a tailgate, 2x4s or angle iron that Chrish mentioned. Not only for the camper but also for the camper floor to help with the weight of people stepping in and out.
Clearly for the OPs idea there will be good amount of wt behind the rear axle relative to payload and wheelbase. That won't matter sitting in the driveway and might not be too bad driving around on pavement. My concern would be for rougher roads where the suspension is being loaded and unloaded by the irregular surface. And where those roads might be in relation to 'civilisation', if something were to break. So, again, I think intended use should be considered.
Any thoughts on this ?
