Jefe 4x4 started this other thread talking about how to handle twisting of the truck frame:
Clicky...
It occurred to me that most of us just have regular domestic pick-up trucks with regular load beds. However you have a commercial vehicle with a nearly 15 ft flatbed. I imagine the chassis and flatbed of your truck will be designed to flex quite a bit.
I assume the camper body you are building is designed to remain rigid - in which case have you thought about how you are going to attach it to the load bed? I'm guessing you would want to ensure it is not rigidly attached causing all the twisting of the chassis / load bed to be transferred into the camper frame, breaking something.
