I pull a 2004 Designer 29RLTS, but with long bed and fixed hitch. With that said, my factory pin box sticks out far enough in front of the front cap that there is approx 4 1/2 feet between the front cap and the truck cab. With a short bed (assuming 6 foot) that clearance should be reduced to at least 2 1/2 feet, but hitches and pin boxes vary, so you would have to measure to be sure. Just assume that the pin would be directly over the TV rear axle, and calculate the clearance. If you have less than 2 feet, you will be limited on sharp turns while maneuvering. If more than 2 feet, you might be OK with short bed and fixed hitch. How sharp a turn you can make will also be affected by how much wider the trailer is than your truck. The wider it is, the more your turns will be limited. Hope this helps.
