Camper in a short bed

I am looking at used campers. How long can I fit? It appears most 8.5' fit but would a 9'? Thanks.

8.5 is as long as you should go. Anything larger is intended for a long box. You may also want to invest in some airbags for stability.

I have an 8.5 for my short bed and I use Timbren's and they have worked out very well with the camper and the 30ft 5er. I have had air bags on previous trucks and for me the Timbren's have worked out better.
