What Is On The Bottom of Your Truck Camper?

I would just put everyday plywood or strand board, probably 3/4" thick. Paint it with a good deck paint. I would put 1-1/2" x 1/8" angle iron around the bottom edges, mounted with countersunk screws. This is just to protect the corners. I would caulk the angle iron.

I would use 1/2" thick horse stall mat in the bed of the truck. I think it is 4'x 5', so you will need two. You want the mat to go past the sides of the TC floor. It is pliable enough the angle iron can sink in, and it will compress at the ribs in the truck bed. Its thickness is pliable yet soft enough to resist your TC sliding. Being 1/2" thick rubber, it will provide some insulation. It is heavy enough the wind will not blow it out of the truck if you leave it in without the TC.

I think I'd use aluminum angle versus iron for the rust factor and miter the corners and caulk with Dicor.

I think that would be over kill. I am sure someone is going to suggest marine plywood and stainless steel screws. More over kill in my opinion. I don't have aluminum, stainless or marine plywood in my home.
