Have you looked into a Jumpin Jack? I think this is my choice. Very functional, multiple uses. Slide in and a 4 wheeler reqs. Another trailer..Save a pile too.

It is an option, but IMO in practice it is pretty unrealistic. You can't use the camper unless there is support under the floor and it is enough of a task to take it on and off that is just never seemed worth it to me. For most models, you wouldn't have a tailgate as well. Would be kinda easy for someone to steal with it off the truck too. Ultimately space and not being able to drop the camper made me sell mine. Bought a smallish travel trailer that is certainly more of a pain to drive with (especially on forest roads) but way nicer when you get to camp and then you can easily use your truck for day trips, etc.Ive been looking at slide in campers for my pickup and was wondering if anyone "unloads" the camper at a campsite so you can be less cautious when using the pickup to go down the trail, roads, etc? I am sure the camper would be susceptible to tipping over as well. Just looking for thoughts and opinions.
Thanks!

I can load or unload my slide in camper in about 15 minutes by myself.I have a 2018 ram 3500 srw diesel with a lance 8’6” lance. I have taken it rock crawling over mountain passes that sxs’s looked at me weird. Just go slow! Never felt like it was going to tip over. Just need to worry about what’s above you (trees). I almost always unload unless just doing a quick over nighter. Don’t get very good gas mileage (12 mpg). But tons of space for 2 people.Ive been looking at slide in campers for my pickup and was wondering if anyone "unloads" the camper at a campsite so you can be less cautious when using the pickup to go down the trail, roads, etc?
