Nice job!
My only comment/ question is why the Fast Guns placed almost parallel to reach other in the rearward direction? Unless there is some other method resisting, there is nothing to keep the TC from creeping backwards on the trailer surface. I would not rely on the Fastguns resisting that much force in the compression direction. It it were me, I would angle the rear guns in a different angle to simulate more how it would function if mounted on a truck bed:
That was the same thing I was thinking, it'll be able to slide rearward.
Like I said in the post, next to the last paragraph. In my driveway, after doing the new pedestal I just put the Fastguns on to hold the camper steady until I was finished and then would lock them down. We have been getting really high winds here recently and I just wanted it anchored for sitting there, not towing. I will anchor it correctly before going to weight everything.
"In the photos in my driveway, the Fastguns are just to hold it steady before locking the camper down."
