ever heard of a camper slide off the back?
Was exploring the Branson area and at some of the parking lots and at even some of the stoplights it's a steep climb from the lights. Has anyone ever heard or saw a truck camper tear the tie downs and...

I think a rubber mat is a good idea, but there really isn't much difference in friction between a plastic bed liner and a spray in liner or the steel truck bed. I tried both and the camper shifted just the same. The shifts I got weren't from normal driving accelerations, but from bumps and road settling combined with a good crosswind interrupted periodically by semis going by the other way. If you go over a good frost heave or other woopdie, the camper will momentarily be weightless or nearly so, what it is sitting on doesn't matter. Pick that moment to encounter a 30 mph side gust and it will move. Which is why most of us tie them down somehow, and why I block it in place.
