I would get lots of blocks of wood and just work each corner until it clears enough pull the truck away. If you've got access I would use a torch to remove any bolts holding the camper on.

This is a Class C motor home. It is not a truck camper. It is highly improbable it has the rigidity in the box structure to be lifted, but if you pull it off, I would love to see a picture.

In my opinion the box or "house" section has no value except as scrap.

Ok, another quick question, I have to get a new tank now for the truck because the camper had them built into it. I was going to just drive out from under the camper, but quickly realized that wont work because I have to disconnect the fuel. Could I use a marine fuel tank just a temp to get it out from the camper? I know theres no sending unit or anything, I guess Im a little confused about how the fuel system works, I thought there was a fuel pump in the engine compartment that worked mechanically off the cam, but someone told me it wouldnt work because there is an electronic fuel sending unit inside the tank and the marine tanks wouldnt have that so it wouldnt work. Im sure someone here can help!

thanks again for the help guys!

All the sending unit is for is the fuel level. You dont even have to use a marine tank, you can just run fuel line into a gas can.

You gone have to look forever for a bed for that truck. The wheelbase is not normal, extra long.
