Marty,
Pods8 describes similar, but I think COG ahead of the rear axle is better.
The CG issue is the hitch but I think it would be better to not have to disturb the bed/dinette while going in and out of the camper.

Then I want to use the slide out portion of the cab over bed and use it as a table.

Not sure if you've bothered to take the slide out in/out of the camper but its not the easiest thing to maneuver the rotation to get it out the door on a regular basis type thing, I can see someone being rushed or such over time potentially tearing the sideliner. Perhaps you have it down already but I figured I'd point it out in case you hadn't noted that yet.

I also thought about this, the whole slide out might be too big to take out, and I don't really need such a big table. That's why I thought of cutting some portions out of the slide out. Using a slanted cut would allow me to drop the cutouts back in. The table doesn't have to be bigger than 2 x 4 ft, that should be sufficient for 2 adults and 2 kids.

I'd be worried about loosing the rigidity of the slide doing that. The front brace does most of the work but the plywood does some as well. Good luck and use some test pieces first.
