When I had truck campers in the '60s/'70s the hot ticket for cold soak and dampness under the bed was several thick layers of card board. Fridge card board was much prefered.
When warm weather came we removed the card board and either saved it for next winter or trash canned it.
Some low cost TC over head beds were just plywood and no insulation or framework. The bottom of the overhead bed would sag badly.
Later my first 5th wheel rv trailer (1984) had a 2"X2" frame work under the bed but no insulation. As another poster mentioned I used a sheet of 5/8" insulboard under the mattress. No sweats and no cold soak.
