Hey All
I am in the process of converting my 2014 Tundra DC to a scratch built flatbed and mounting my 2018 Hawk Front Dinette to it permanently.
Fabricator friend is going to be building this flatbed from 100% scratch and completely custom for my needs.
Since it will be 100% custom built, we will be bolting the camper directly to the flatbed with custom mounts and eliminating the turn buckles.
He asked me where in the camper would be the best place to bolt through, and how many bolts are needed. Honestly, i have no idea! Hahahaha
I see lots of campers bolted to bed that seem to be done to accommodate things under the bed that may be in the way.
If doing this all from scratch, is there a best place to place the bolts? 4 sufficient? 6?
Ideally would be to have them all hidden in the cabinets or cargo access areas for the turnbuckles.
Any input from the experts?
Also, any pics of slide ins mounted on flatbeds are welcome for motivation and ideas!
I'll start a build thread once we actually get rolling on it!
THANKS
