So I'm faces with the problem of a short bed 6.5' dodge and the p5. I can get it I. The bed no problem but this the hitch setup I run on my camper I can't have the tailgate down so my question is has anyone made a ramp setup to get there p5 in the truck with a camper behind it. Thought about a deck on top of the bed and it's not gonna happen in almost temped to put a flatbed on it. And help is nice thanks

Changing the hitch set up on the camper wouldn't be easier/cheaper than installing a flat bed. Do you have a pic of your camper hitch set up?

Bumper pull with the anti sway hitch but where the jack and propane tanks are the tailgate has to be closed of off I also run a toolbox with about 1000 lbs of stuff in it that is a huge pain to take in and out

I don't think my camper will clear the deck when I turn
There's an 18" extender
You can buy for $100
I used one....now keep in mind
using it.....you lose 1/3 of your
tounge weight......

I have a bumper pull too with electric Jack and propane tanks and a anti sway hitch on the truck, no problems. I wonder what the difference is?

Get the Raptor, all aluminum frame with a completely seperate garage. The cheap ones that your wheelers park in the living room will make mama nuts!!!
