Thanks, I wouldn't have thought of that and it makes a lot of sense. I'm hoping to get a little more out of what I have done, the rear bolts on mine go through the cross member so they are pretty strong, I contemplated putting in another cross member in the box in front and put the bolts...

Looks great, thanks for the great pix, I notice you did this on the rear of the camper, how does the front lift? I was wanting to do the same thing but had thought of putting the top mount in line with the board in the inside for lifting the front. After doing this what are your...

Using some Square stock, remnants from a bed liner and some bits and pieces, a friend fabricated this step which comes off quickly when off road as it does leave some furrows:0) Really light and quite solid using the existing truck hitch. I do put a bolt on for trips where we park in the city...

How about some pix of your fix? The drawing is obviously not to scale, the 2x6 is snug to the plywood backing plates of the rubber bumpers on the camper and to the interior walls of the truck box. It does not touch the floor of the box, the remaining strip of wood over the bumpers is about 2...
