20 years back we had a 8ft smaller camper on my 99 f-150 with 6.5 box fit on with tail gate down , was nice to get into spots , crown , as opposed to using camp grounds .
I never liked using that hydraulic jacks . I would rent geared camper jacks from sunbelts rentals were more sturdy . eventually I bought a set of my own stored them in the truck bed.
What i most remember was hauling the camper the ford 4.6 mileage went to S%&*. went down to like 9-10 mpg even with a fairly light camper .
With kids are long moved out , wife does not care for camping anymore . just me and the dog hunting and couple summer camping trips with coworkers.
I sleep in the truck box with canopy , cott , get a little micro tv and radio .
