I'm looking for a camper and I found one that I can afford except for one catch:

The camper is for a full size 8' truck bed and my truck bed is too short. So my question to the various owners of campers or even former owners is:

Is it possible to mount it in the bed of my truck. Currently it's connected to anchors that slide into the 4 holes on the corners of the bed with anchor bolts attaching the camper to the truck. Would I need to use a different securement system and would there be a problem with weight distribution?

Thanks in advance!
