Looking for a "soft" rubber truck bed mat

I am looking for a soft rubber truck bed mat to put under my Northern Lite 811.
The one I have is hard and after this trip we were on which involved some bad roads I found the unit moving around.
While talking with a rep from NL about another small difficulty,I mentioned the moving and he highly recommended a soft rubber truck bed mat to put under the bottom which is fiber glass.
Would appreciate any good ideas. I have been Googling and looking on Amazon with no luck
Thanks

I put screws with big washers in the corners of my bed mat, basically so it would not fly out of the truck when I didn't have the end gate on. It could help your situation.

As I build gyms I have access to this Rubber Flooring works great for camper and anything else you want to haul and not slide around.

What " movement " are you trying to stop/control ? Lets face it all truck campers will move a little they should not be tied down so tight to stop all movement. Doing so in my opinion would cause damage to the truck campers framework. A rubber mat like a horse stall mat will help absorb some shock to the camper and also help hold it a little from sliding backwards but really that's what the tie downs are for.

That's what I use for my lance as well. I picked up my camper with my new truck before I had a chance to get the bed liner sprayed and when I got home, 8hrs later, you could see from the scratches where it moves side to side about an inch. Now, I still haven't had a chance to get it sprayed, but with the stall mats, it doesn't move at all.

They are if you own a Northern Lite or Bigfoot

Yep, just go down to your nearest co-op or Tractor Supply and pick up two stall mounts. They will be about as soft as you can get without custom ordering or going to small kids squares.

Not sure how soft or hard you are looking for but try doing a search on stall Mats. I picked up one that was dimpled on one side and ribbed on the other. They come in varying sizes and thicknesses. Got mine at the local farm supply store.
