How to rig tie downs on a flatbed.
I am trying to figure out the best way to anchor a lance 1040 on a flatbed. I have had the Lance anchored on a flatbed before, but this bed will be different. I am not going to cut holes in the boxe...

my attachment points for the tie downs are heavy duty eyebolts. they are mounted to the steel frame edge of the flatbed. my flatbed is a wood deck style. what are you using for that?
I have gone places a lot of people wouldn't take a 2 wheel drive, up national forest roads. no shifting with the camper. like 69 Avion mentioned I do have guides on the sides of the camper. all I used was a stick of 1"x1" wood along both sides. they are screwed down to the wood deck. I also have a small stick of 3/4" angle iron on the front of the camper. so nothing super strong but they do the job. they also help get the camper lined up perfectly the few times I take the camper off the truck. my camper stays on the truck 99% of the time.

question...i have a wood deck style flatbed also and an putting a truck camper on it. the steel edge of my flatbed is only about 2" wide and maybe 1/4" thick, is this where you put your eyebolts? and it's plenty strong??
