Im throwing that camper on that bed. I have torklifts, and am experienced with the truck/camper combo on my regular bed. Just wondering your thoughts on flatbeds etc. My one question, Should have some support on the sides where the bed rails would be? Other than that Im just looking for thoughts/concerns/ideas!

First, I don't have one, but some thoughts nevertheless. These are probably obvious. Depending on the camper you put on, your top bar might not clear. I'd consider thinking about adding some type of stops to prevent the camper moving side to side because the camper won't be anywhere near as wide as the flatbed. I'd also consider a rubber mat depending on what the surface is.
