Like I said not a truck camper guy, never had one and to be honest have never seen one up close in a truck. I just was questioning the spring hold downs. Having drove big trucks and having to secure loads it just looks a little weak to me.
The pick up box will and does keep the camper from just sliding left or right, that whole set up just does not look safe to me. I would not like to see the end result of any hard emergency avoidance maneuvers with that set up.
Please know Bedlam, I'am in no way slamming you! I just find that whole set up unnerving. Maybe that is why I have never ever considered looking a truck camper, just way to top heavy for my liking. That is why I would never buy a high top van conversion. Rode in one in high winds and said this S#$T is not for me!
Good luck Don
