That's initially where my search started but service bodies are heavy and many times the sides are too tall for a slide in to fit with no modifications or the tub isn't wide enough. I found what I was talking about, it was made by Royal and called a sport body but has apparently been discontinued. Stahl supposedly makes something similar called a grand challenger but I couldn't find on. They follow the contours of your stock truck bed and didn't add a lot of weight. Our camper is already over 3k loaded up so I really don't want to add any more weight.
Edit to add: the other down side to some utility beds (same with flat beds) is that the camper will be sitting up higher and changing your COG.

Those service bodies like the Royals are really slick but really expensive. You can get a drop deck flat bed. The haulers use them for pulling goosenecks but then you are getting up into custom fab territory.

Some camper companies will also do build outs special for flat beds (Alaskan off the top of my head).
It opens up a bunch of interior space not having to work around wheel wells.

Somebody better pick this up http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/5814504441.html
Even if it needs a new transmission.. This is a hell of a deal. It won't last another day or two guaranteed.

Looks like I will be joining the ranks the the ski bums this year. Planning on living for a few months in the truck camper I just acquired skiing and snowmobiling across the west. Getting an Epic pass, and a Mountain Collective pass and plan to try and ski all of the areas on each (in the the US and Canada).
Going to use a trailer for sled storage, ski storage as well as storing items I don't want in the truck or camper. Weight will be a big issue so I am trying to keep as much out of the truck as possible.
Currently working on insulating the camper with 1.5" pink board on the truck bottom and I'll be putting .5 inch foil faced foam on the sides and seating bottom.
I won't be using the water in the camper, so I don't need to worry about it freezing, but I will be using the on-board toiled in emergencies. I just plan on flushing it with RV anti freeze.
As far as power goes I am going to put 2, maybe 3 group 31 deep cycle batteries in the camper, along with the on board 20lb LP tank with an additional 100lb tank in the trailer with a hose I can hook to the camper for extended stays. On my calculations this should allow me to run the heater for about 36 hours straight before needing a charge. So realistically about 4 days of heat before needing to take action. That will give me about a day reserve as I don't see myself not starting the truck for anymore than 3 days.
Anyways, these are just my initial thoughts, lots of reading and adjusting left to do!

That trailer might be a challenge for you in snowparks on snow days if they haven't been plowed, at least in the PNW.
You might consider something like this...
Might be lighter as well.

legality
Does anyone know the legality of sleeping in a resort parking lot? Are there any around colorado that explicitly allow it?

Search JONG. There are tons of threads. Like: http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...-Locale-Thread
tl;dr: Most resorts don't allow it. They manage the FS land, they set the rules on access during ski season. Almost none explicitly allow it, some do allow it if you ask nicely. In Colorado the "ask nicely" is basically Wolf Creek and Monarch. Maybe Purgatory, Powderhorn and Copper. No one else on I70
