The 'doughnut' on the roof is going to oil-can the roof. Truck roofs are NOT strong. The camper does NOT need the support of the truck roof.
Between the camper and cab, your truck cap should have a slider window and the camper should have a removable or slider window. Open and close as needed. Meaning; while traveling and in motion, you have no need to 'pass through'. When parked leave the truck window unlocked. When you need something stored in the truck, open the camper and truck window and then close when done. Again, the boot isn't needed.

Both these applications were bad ideas back in the 60's and remain a bad idea today.
I've seen boots between camper and truck that was a vinyl tube with snaps that connected the truck to the camper, but again, not necessary and eventually the product died out.
