I am lucky and have a pretty flat concrete floor. I have car dolleys that I use, stacking 2 pieces of plywood on each then under the jacks. i can actually move the camper a few inches when it is not centered in the bed, don't think I could scoot it across the floor though. Then when I get close to the front I can put the truck in neutral and roll it back til it touches the camper or however far back or forward it needs to go. Works pretty well. Out on the road your on your own though:) Also unloading I believe it helps the jacks to not come into a bind when the camper is lifted, able to roll around a small bit.
Kind of anal, so centering is very important to me though probably not in the scheme of things.
I don't use any vertical restrictions on the bed, instead relying on a rubber mat on the bed/plywood/rubber mat on top With the idea if things get to moving around two pieces of vertical metal or even one at a corner is going to do more damage vs. 4000# of camper sitting on rubber held down by gravity. If that gravity should let loose there will be a lot of interesting things going on.
