One thing I find imteresting is the TL front tie downs on most trucks are almost vertical, whereas my HJ's are at a substantial angle. It's my contention that when the tie down point are almost vertical, that contributes to camper movement. Maybe I'm all wet but I don't think so.
It does.
My Lance has bracket pretty forward and TL tie-down could not be used with front hole due the jacks.
So with small ties angle the camper "walk" back. I had shims under who did not move, so my only explanation that on long drive the propulsion was moving the camper back.
Putting additional tension on the springs seem to solve the issue.
Than I run into camper selling photo where ties were close to vertical like on the picture above.
The camper had nylon strap added between rear legs and attached somewhere behind the cabin.
