Do I see a dent in the right fender inside the bed. This makes me wonder if camper is moving side to side in bed. The crown in road would make it hit right side harder.
Yes. You do see a dent in that fender. The camper is definitely moving side to side. That fender is not where it should be because the bed is bending.
Well, maybe not side to side. It slowly moves over to the passenger side. Due to the crown of the road just like someone had just said.
I can go thousands of miles without it moving. But then with just the right combination of bumps and heavy crown on the road, it starts to slide over to the passenger side down the bent part of the bed.
Do you understand something no heavier than a bottle jack will dent the front of bed if it can slide back and forth less than a inch? Something as heavy as a camper sliding just a little bit is beating the bed like a pretty big hammer. No matter how you repair it, unless you solve the movement issue, it will not stay fixed.
You are way off. I’m sorry. But what you’re talking about has nothing to do with the problem.
There is nothing sliding back-and-forth. Your imagination is going in the wrong direction.
The thread has convinced me to just do it right and get a flatbed. That way, everything is going to be fixed the right way to transfer the load to the frame without all of this cheap material in between.
