Personally, I think the pickup beds used on all the light duty trucks are pretty flexible, and account for the majority of the movement you're seeing.

An inch or so I believe.
Does balance, centre of gravity have an effect?
Probably, but we're usually loaded the same way on each trip. Take aobut the same amount of stuff, load it the same way, usually have the fresh water tank full.
Weight in Cabover effect on movement?
Again, probaby but we usually have the same stuff in the cabinets there.
How tight do you secure your Fast Gun Tie Downs?
Adjust the threaded rod so that about half the pin hole is covered just before compressing the spring.
Does a rubber bed mat affect Truck Camper movement?
Bounce? No, I wouldn't think so. It does help keep the camper from sliding around on the slick bed surface though.
Maybe it's because Eagle Cap 1160 cabover is so much bigger that I notice it.
Super Springs keeps chassis very igid, no bounce, and I have Dually rear wheels at 80lbs, as with the front.
Just wondering.
Please offer your suggestions.
