Leave the clear elbow on the outlet. Don't bother taking it on and off. It's a PITA.
Just make sure it's pointing downward before you back the truck to load the camper.
Nolan, Is the camper sliding forward causing it dig into the bumper or are you backing the truck up into it? On mine, I know there's barely a 1/4" space between the two if I back all way to the stops. Get yourself a couple 2X4 (or whatever) blocks between the bump stops and the bulkhead of the bed. Should give you the clearance you need at the rear. Or just don't back up so far. I would think with a bed mat, the camper should not be moving forward much, if at all.
