Can I ask what is used to stop the side to side movement of the camper. It appears to be the tiedown tabs. The truck tiedown loops appear to be sticking out from the side of the bed. Could they be hit in that location? I am not criticizing the build, I love it. Just getting your idea on how you solved the problem.
Good question. The tiedown tabs do stick 2 inches below the camper and could technically stop the side to side movement by hitting against the flatbed. They are 1/4" thick welded steel L beam.
I have them pulling the camper down to the flatbed via torklift spring mounts fairly snug. The camper rests on a 1/4" thick rubber matt. We put a camera on the mount system and did not notice any movement at all of the mount system but we have only been on paved roads so far.
I don't know yet that there is a problem to solve but I have some ideas, including plates attached to the flatbed that come up around the camper a few inches on each side.
