That is the question!
So, I have a new truck (F-250) and it has a 6 3/4 foot bed. A 6 1/2 foot camper should fit so that the tailgate would close. This allows for the backup camera to stay unmodified, gives me a back porch and I have the tailgate step which would assist in entering.
A longer camper would give me more living space but I do not think I want to extend beyond the bumper because it is easier to lower the spare tire and add a receiver item if I don't. That limits me to a 7ish foot camper.
Ideas from those who have tackled this dilemma? I am considering Alaskan campers with Bundutec/Hallmark in 2nd place....
BTW with a 3/4 ton I believe the weight of the tailgate is a non-issue
Thanks for any input!
