Do you use a thin rubber mat in the bed? It sounds like the symptom I had before I used the mat and ditched the real problem: the corrugated plastic bed liner. The next step was to hold the bottom of the camper in a rack. The quick and dirty solution is to use 2x4's as spacers between the fender wells and the TC. One step up is to use metal stops fore and aft. I use the Lance Camper Guides, but there are many better solutions if you go back and search camper guides.

One other oft missed woe with the camper sliding around is it puts undue stress on the tie downs (one side or the other) and can lead to premature TC frame/attachment area failure, whether wood or aluminum.
