I have been in two situations where I thought there was a possibility my FW could touch the bed rails.
In a CG in New Mexico their entrance was extremely steep. As I approached and turned it I was able to take it at more of an angle so I did not touch. I had to maneuver at an angle leaving a few days later so make sure I did not touch.
Another CG down south, can't recall where, had an interior gravel road with a short rise that was very steep. All the roads were one-way inside the park. It was how we were going to have to exit. I honestly thought I wouldn't make it but I just went really slow and even got out of the truck a couple of times to double check my clearance. At the high point on that rise I let almost all the air out of my bags and I still only cleared hitting the bed rails by less than an inch.
As others have said, keep at least 6" of clearance between bed rails and FW when hooked up.
