Moving a large camper with my stepside.
 
I just need to move it about 50 feet. Would this camper fit in a shortbed stepside good enough to move it?

Re: Moving a large camper with my stepside.
 
Probably.

I once moved my ~30' single axle house trailer from one spot to another where I was storing it with my 65 short stepside six cylinder. It was pretty squashed down in the back from the tongue weight. The trailer had been sitting there a while and I had to pop the tires out of the holes in first gear.

Now I'm not sure why...? Maybe I had already sold the big GMC, or maybe it was still there too and I didn't want to fight to get it started after sitting there a while. There was a whole bunch of stuff that I finally had to liquidate after I went back to school mid-life.

Also I had a buddy that moved an 8' cabover a few miles on a stepside pickup bed trailer. I can't remember if it was long or short bed, but it was really tippy!

Will it fit between the bedsides?

You need to measure the base that goes into the bed. If it wider than 4 feet it may not fit. Haven't measured mine but I seem to recall the bed is 50 or so inches

Good point. I'll see if I can get a measurement tomorrow.
