Thank you for posting the photos, in particular the one that shows the space between the camper and Hitchgate. I will be ordering one shortly to use with my Hallmark Guanella LX. I have delayed over concerns about interference between the hitchgate and the roof ladder. Does anyone have any experience using a hitchgate with a pop-up that has a ladder? Thanks again, information in this discussion is very helpful.

Do you have an 8' bed or something shorter?
My Everest is 8.5' long and is on an 8' bed. In actuality the camper just sticks out past the bed about 2 inches and not as far as the factory bumper. I have a ladder on mine and hope it doesn't represent any issues.
After a long wait mine is scheduled to be shipped to me starting on the 23rd so hopefully in a week or so I can put everything together and see how it fits.
I'll post some pictures for everyone to see...

8ā€™ box and my Guanella ends about the same 2ā€ past the bed as yours does. Iā€™m looking forward to seeing photos when yours arrives.

Sorry for the delay. Life / work kept getting in the way!

To make a long story short the passenger side Offset Hitchgate (swings to the driver's side) fits perfectly on my 8' bed holding my 8.5' Everest camper with a ladder.
As was said previously this piece of gear is solid! There is no way I could lift it with my 96# tire/wheel combo on it!
