run 2 2x10 8 foot each side with 3/4 plywood on top, needs this to allow the rear doors to clear the camper, the back is located by the end of the box sides but nothing at the front, it can move side to side till the camper contacts the wheel arches in the box which is about 4 inches.
You could easily block it off of the fender wells also.
what you propose would also seem to work I suppose. Seems heavy and clunky and no one needs extra weight in the bed with a TC.
Assuming you don’t have a rubber bed mat? That, or stall mats (again, heavier and more costly) are the common means for providing a slip resistant surface.
1 sheet of foam (lightweight, durable and simple) and a bed mat seems preferable to some frame work with multiple pieces and chunks of heavy rubber etc.That alone will keep the camper from sliding, but a couple 6’ long 2x lumber, on on each side of the camper at the wheel wells will limit the sliding positively.
And you can cut the 2x’s to length to fit in your bed dividers to keep stuff in the bed when running around without the tailgate when you’re on the road and camper is unloaded in the campsite. (If you do that kind of thing. I’d frequently unload the camper on multi day stays to have a vehicle to run around with and if I left the tailgate at home for that trip, the boards made small tailgates to keep coolers, tackle boxes etc from the potential of sliding out the back.
