Black Tank - Bumper Issue
I have a 9 foot truck camper and the black tank is horribly positioned. It sits directly on the bumper when it is flush in the bed. Initially I damaged the tank because when I stepped into the camper it went down slightly and smooshed the corner a bit.
After repairing it, I put the camper on 2 by 4s in the bed, which so far has worked but I am still nervous as it hovers only an inch above the bumper and I am afraid that too much weight on the back end or too much moving around when I am in transit might cause it to happen again.
By the way, my real issue is that my tie down things are on the bumper, so I can't remove it. I heard something about an extender, but I am not sure how that would affect my ability to tie down my camper. I would have to get different tie downs in the back which would be hard on my budget.
Any advice? Anyone else ever have this problem?
