Bed mat will be 3/16" for that reason. With the picture frame in the truck. A 3/16 piece of lexan, just fits. I can adjust the pucks to take care of some of that if need be.
I'm thinking lift up one side at a time. Put red lipstick on the bed cover lips. Then lay the mat back down. But have a section of Vinyl floor in the shop. Its 5ft by 10ft. Thinking I will use it as a template. Get everything right, then use to it to drill the holes out.
May have to pick up a 4x8 1/4" mat Monday. If I buy the camper were going to look at. To get it home on. If so they also have a 5x8 mat. May just buy it and cut to fit the truck. AS the DEZ-DZ86916 - Dee Zee Truck Bed Mat has been moved back to Mid Jan now. So if I go this route. I will cancel that order. They told me yesterday It would not be an issue if I did not wait until Jan to cancel that mat.
Merry Christmas. Yes if what I said was confusing, then I would suggest a template. And full size like your planning, if you aren’t comfortable with drawing straight lines and using a tape measure.
Presume you don’t have a bed liner if you’re worried about even getting the camper home without a mat. However, buying a mat that you have to “customize “ to make fit, seems counterproductive beings you’re not comfortable laying out the cuts.
Also unless you plan on climbing pikes peak on the way home with your camper, and worried it will slide out the back, there are other options to protect your truck bed from scratches.
With this being the day of the birth of Christ, there is already and will be copious amounts of used cardboard around.
