My new(to me)slide in camper.
It's a 1993 Fleetwood Elkhorn 9vs with 2140lb dry weight, in amazing shape and picked it up for $3000 CAD. Everything works and has a 3000 watt inverter, new water pump as well as 2 new propane tanks. Didn't grab a roof pic, but it's re sealed just recently and solid. No a/c, but I'll figure that out here soon.

That camper should work pretty well on a shortbed because it has all the heavy stuff at the front, which keeps the center of gravity in front of the axle. Fridge, propane, water tanks, all at the front, which is a great design.

Looks good , was it stored inside ? Is that left front jack leaning , not straight ?
It will do the same job as a $ 45 K truck camper.

Funny enough the farmer I bought the camper from lives just a few farms down the road from the older gentleman I purchased the truck from 2 years ago and the camper is the same make as my 26' bumper pull(Fleetwood)and even has the same looking exterior so It just felt right lol.
Here's the 1987 bumper pull:

If you haven't set that camper on your truck yet, be careful about cabover clearance the first time you do it. It looks like your cabover will probably hit the top of Ford's tall cab design, so you might need some 2x4's or something under the camper to raise it up enough to clear, if it doesn't already have them.

I didn't have to look anything up, the access panels for all of that stuff are visible from the outside. After being around truck campers for many years, you can see a lot of details with just 1 look, haha.

Nice camper.
Looks like the cabinets above the dinette is a drop down bunk. I have one and it is used for chair storage and a small portable BBQ.
I agree with watch your cab clearance.
