Considering the damage I would look at a dedicated rack system to hold the camper.
I am thinking steel frame to support steel rails to slide and attach the camper.
Remove the bed, build the frame, tack the bed sides back on for looks.
Interesting response. Essentially, that’s exactly what I’m doing. I’m rebuilding the support structure below the bed. And leaving the bed there to provide the looks.
I had already done incremental modifications. I have three-quarter inch plywood in the bed already. The rubber mat. I made new supports for the towers when they were failing. But, it’s time to get serious. A proper welded steel frame won’t be going anywhere.
