I got a serious problem with you "been there and done that" types, because, just because you "been there and done that" exactly ONCE, doesn't mean that it will work for everyone, with every truck, with every camper.
A statistical sample of ONE is not at all scientific, and hardly makes you an authority. They say it's better to be lucky than good, and I think you are mistaking luck for skill.
I don't see ANY of you advocating putting something like a Host Mammoth on a short bed truck. Why is that? I thought it was "no problem" to put a long bed camper on a short bed truck. It ALWAYS works, doesn't it? So why not go for broke and put a REAL camper on a short bed? Oh, maybe because the CG is too far back? I thought that wasn't a problem. Oh, maybe because there's too much unsupported floor and it may cause structural damage to the camper? I thought that wasn't a problem...
Maybe this will get this thread shut down.

If you have some facts beyond titanic analogies, let me know, I am interested.
When RV have structural problems, they usually show as cracks, delamintation and other symptoms before actuall separation happens.
So finding RV broken in 1/2 might never happen as owners address the issue having enough warning.
But just for the joke, here is analogy.

I carried dry camper on short pickup when I bought it, but short time after I bought dually for it.
It is a bit different story to carry 4200lb of dry camper and different when you load it to 6500lb.
I check the camper under when I was switching the trucks and yes, I could see imprint of short flatbed on camper floor.
When dealing with several parameters and loading them to extreme, you have to be very careful. With some common sense you can make it acceptable risk, or make newspaper headlines.
You don't know who other people reading the forum might be and when you give them "Go ahead" on small risk -they apply it to bigger one.

Geez..Kaytag..Have you ever owned anything besides your monster camper on your 3500 super pickup truck?..I have owned close to or over 15 truck campers on everything from a 1500 to a 3500 on everything from a 1/2 ton stepside to a 3500 work truck.
Let's here some real experience here...
