Hi,
It is a 2011 Ascent Chalet, 6 foot bed, no slide outs. Gross is 4000 lbs. I already have a 4 inch block in front to push the TC away from the front box overhang. What is hitting is the camper overhang on the rear bumper. I don't really want to move it any further back if I can avoid it.
you are right that the camper slams around with the pieces of plywood under the mat. Although that doesn't seem to be the problem, the rubber mat acts like a big shock absorber and allows the whole camper to bounce too much, it gets really close to my truck roof.
Maybe I'll replace the mat with plywood that is double sided with armor coating, then it won't slide and the plywood would fit tight between wheel wells?
Thx again.

PS. Bobndot thanks for the links, after reading I think I may try my armor coated plywood idea and no mat to reduce porpoising.
