I had the same problem on a palomino bronco. the bracket was just lag screwed into the frame from both directions, but the lag screws were coming loose.
I took a 4" wide piece of flat steel and a 2" piece of angle iron, drilled holes and weld them together in the same configuration as what was on the camper, but 6" long instead of 4". then I put a piece of 1 1/2" alum angle on the inside and not only lag screwed it to the camper wall frame, but bolted through into creating a clamp between the inside and outside.
all of this was able to do since it was on the lower rear brackets which were inside the storage boxes and both inside and outside were easily accessible.
Thanks for the feedback. That won't work for me - no access to inside wall of camper where plate mounts. Sounds rock-solid though.
