I may try that. Also I read a post in another string that talked about using transparent tape and a white centerline on the truck bed & then dragging a small piece of fine chain from the front center of the camper box.
If I do crank it up again, I may try placing cinder blocks 2 wide about 2 tiers high with a square piece of ply under each front. That way they don't extend so far out reducing subsequent "bandy leg" syndrome!
In the end result, really glad to learn that slide-ins "seat" themselves as you drive. Makes sense though when you think about it!
That being the case... I'm off to Walmart for a new Vizio for the rig and we'll see how she dances back there!
BTW, in ponderence of exactly how to mount my DirecTV antenna, I came upon another Lance last week and dude had the dish "U-bolted" to one side of the ladder just below the roof line so as to be out of the travel wind! Slick! Got to try that & post pics.
