I've seen a number of of these kits and DIY projects and follow the threads. Although I do not use them, I always thought that when my camper starts sliding around I would end up doing something like this. Well, even with my flatbed, I have not seen more than 1/2" of movement (rough roads on CA's HWY99). Are you driving miles of washboard or going to locations with pitched bumpy roads to get so much movement? Even on a forest road with some washouts, my Arctic Fox stayed planted.
These are centering guides not movement preventers. I like my camper perfectly square and with guides I can just back under it and drop it without any messing around. The tie-downs are always the same length and the camper is always perfectly centered. I guess they would prevent it from sliding around on a slick bed liner or something but with horse-mat and tie-downs it ain't moving.
