I have 3" shimming under my Lance and after giving front spring ties extra tension that thing stays solid.
What I have is factory bed mat, then I build 3/4" plywood with 2x 6" planks on the side, 2x4 front and rear - all screw together and then I have 1/4" rubber to put on top of the plywood.
You don't need cross members under camper floor.
When I had 1/4" spring tension on tiea, the camper liked to walk back.
I mean it moved 1/2" after 2000 miles, but now I put about 1/2 spring tension. Part of the problem might be that Lance front brackets are not giving much angle to tie-downs.
