Hi The idea needed is to keep the camper wedged in from the bed front to the wheel wells. This will help keep the camper from sliding around. When raising the camper on a platform you will need to secure the frame so it won't slide in the bed. 2x6 wood will slide on metal. I would make the frame to a snug the shape of the bed with thin foam to protect the bed walls. A couple more cross 2x6's for support. They need to placed to best support the camper floor. Rubber padding is needed between the wood 2x6 or better still on top of the 4x8 sheet of whatever decking you use. Since your camper is narrow, I would add some wood guides to keep the camper square on top of the raised platform in your bed. Bill
