I don't use physical guides on my truck deck but use the center line reference method to get the camper loaded evenly on the truck. Except for blocking in the front against the headache rack, I have not needed anything else. Does your camper sit on a mat? Mine sits on 3/4" horse stall mats and does not shift.
lol, well I didn't 'need' anything else either. But this was a way to massively increase the speed with which to load. And no mats either; the thing doesn't move once in. Sits on the steel bed (which, btw, I'm not a huge fan of. I like wood infilled flatbeds a whole lot better, but I built this bed for the TC and sleds, for another truck, and the steel serves a needed purpose).
We TCer's spend a lot of money on these things, and most try and keep them 'nice'. Hence, even if one is fairly comfortable and capable, loading is a slow process just out of the act of being careful. I assure you, this has made an already fairly comfortable task for me, a whole lot easier and faster.
