Could you get a temporary tray fabricated for the base of the Host and some plastic wheel well covers so you can make your scheduled trip and deal with the details once you return?
The edges would be 2x2" angle with some cross supports. A 3/4" piece of plywood with rubber mat would finish it off. This cradle would be bolted to the frame rails and some triangular shaped camper tie down points bolted off the frame could go to your turnbuckles.
This was a choice I had to make when I was faced with selling my 3500 and having only the C & C to deliver the camper to my truck bed outfitter. I actually passed on an offer to sell the GMC and kept both trucks for a couple months until it got closer to production. I had put a lot of thought into fabricating a temp. platform for an easier delivery but opted out. Man....to have a special ordered truck not right-that's not right.
