On my first BF11.6 1987 It was always a pain getting the camper lined up.After a few off and ons I came up with a solution The distance between wheelwell in the bed was 49" and the camper floor is 46". I made 2 2x4x6 peices and beveled the top inside of each one. I also shaved them down to
give me 48.5 between when laid aginst the wheel wells. I back the truch in as
best as possible and lower the camper to about 1"to 2" off the deck I take the 6' pcs and slide them in from the sides and letb them rest between the wheelwell and the camper. I shake the camper alittle side to side and the 2 stud center the camper. Done about 5min Let er down and have a cool one.
Also about 40 years ago I stopped using all these crazy tie-downs and started using 5/8 Braided nylon -7percent stretch- line a clevis to take up the slack a couple bowlines we are on the way The set on my beach camper- BF- are on ther 12 yeasr.
Thanks
