hi all and enjoy reading the many posts, we have a 1996 Kodiac truck camper, purchased at the time with my 1996 Dodge 3/4 ton Diesel, used it regulary upto 2004 when we purchased the 1999 Fleetwood discovery.
retired the Dodge, still have it but wanted to run the Camper for weekends, fixed a couple leaks from the sealant peeling on the fridge vent on the roof, scraped all the old seal and redid it, no leaks so load it up.
The first issue the Ford is taller from box to top of cab and needed to add a 2x10 plus a strip of 3/4 plywood so the rear doors will open and have clearance between truck roof and camper.
took it out last weekend, allmost instantly the front of camper shifted over to one side, we had decent winds so pulled over and re centered camper, tightened it more and set off, after half hour its back over, never had this issue with the Dodge so assuming its the spacer used under it allowing it to slide.
my question anyone else had this issue and what are you using for a spacer? Iv considered having a couple strips bandsawn 2 1/2 thick but thinking covering it, maybe carpet, rubber matting or?
thanks for ant sugestions
