Next time Im out Ill send you a video.

Then something is not the best with respect to it's design ... if it's bottom is right down sitting on, and attached to, the van's steel cab roof how can it bounce when the cab isn't. :h

It may be attached but the shell is not rigid.

Exactly, not sure why this is so difficult to understand. Ever see a building sway in the breeze, thats steel mounted to concrete, how could it bend, look at inflight videos of an aircraft in turbulence, looks like those big million dollar Rolls Royce engines may leave the wing.
The Fiberglass nose on my Cambria bounces during movement, deal with it.

I'll use again the word "impossible" ... at least with respect to how our rig's cabover over-hang rests right on, and is waterproof sealed to, the Ford cab's steel ceiling. From the driver's seat I can look right up at the long curving union joint where Winnebago joined the cabover's bottom floor to the cab's ceiling cut out.

That union cannot allow the bottom of the cabover to moved separate from the cab's ceiling or I would see that union area flex (and eventually degrade) when going down the road. Additionally, the cab is bolted solid to the same chassis frame member as the coach (unlike a pickup with a camper on it) - how can one (the cabover floor) go up and down and the other one (the cab ceiling) not?

Then again, maybe they constructed them different back in late 2004 when our 2005 Class C was built. :h
