Bed Mat

Hi All,

Is this mat sufficient for underneath a truck camper? I already bought it but want to be sure this is what I need. If it makes any difference I have the factory Ram sprayed bed liner.

Truck Mat



Thanks,

  • Yep that will work, I have that mat in my Ram 3500. Love it.
  • Northern Lite recommends a 3/8" thick mat for their campers. However, late model Ford HD's require an additional 1-2" of foam/plywood/horsemat to obtain the necessary truck cab/cabover clearance with a NL.
  • That’s the mat I have in my F350 but I also had to buy the 2” Foam Board to clear the Waste Water Drain Line from hitting the Rear Bumper.
  • Do I need anything to hold it in place? Seems like it would be heavy enough but.....

    Thanks,
    Rick

    And what mat are you talking about?
    I tested my Ford mat at governed speed just fine.
    It is shaped around wheel wells, what holds it from sliding, while weight keeps it down in the vortex behind the cabin. (it sucks when you can push the governor on 4th gear, still having 2 gears to spare)
