Thanks for the comments so far. Just a quick clarification... my camper has only slid about 1" and that is after doing some dirt road treks (nothing requiring 4 wheel drive). Most poeple might not notice or even care of this amount of slip but it does bother me and I do have a clearance issue with my doors if it goes much beyond this.
The suggestions offered so far seem to be in line with what I have seen before which is fine but I would prefer to have something that is more durable and weather resistant (hence stainless steel). On my current setup, I needed 2" of foam plus two rubber mats to get the camper to clear the cab of the truck. The plate / bracket I'm thinking of would sit under all of this so the bottom of the camper would not be scratched and the side brackets would have some sort of carpeting to prevent the same. I'm looking at possibly 12g stainless steel which is about 1/8" of thick so it would just require a rubber mat laid on top to prevent the bottom from being scratched.
Since it doesn't appear that any company makes such a product I may just have to go forward with having it made for me. I'm just honestly surprised that the current companies already in the business haven't developed something along these lines. It makes me wonder if I'm missing something obvious.
