Long box camper overhang - Problem??
We have a Bigfoot 9.6 on our 2010 Dodge Ram 3500. Both the Bigfoot and Ram are long bed models, however, we have an auxiliary fuel tank in the front of the truck bed so the camper doesn't sit up agai...

I have seen SB campers used on LB truck w/fuel cell. I have never seen a LB camper on a LB truck and fuel cell. I would be more concerned about COG then I would floor support.
You will need to visit the scales to see what is going on with your axle loading.
You MIGHT be unloading the front axle...
Good luck, B
Edit; Also, plywood would not be the material of choice to add reinforcement...it has no strength in shear.
Steel beams/plates or unidirectional composite maybe...but now you are adding weight and/or $.
Why not get an under bed fuel cell? Then you won't have this problem.
