Any of you guys know where I can buy a set of the triangular centering guides that bolt to the bed? I considered maiking my own out of wood but I think the steel ones facillitate the camper sliding into possition better.

Hi Marty,
The ones I had on my T100 were a "six inch on a side" triangle. They kept the camper from moving from side to side and sort of eased it into position when it was lowered into the bed. I got them at a garage sale and they worked really well. As always thanks for your helpful suggestions.

I found them this morning at a local RV dealer in Ventura for I'm sure way more than I should have paid. $50. They're called camper guides and Lance either makes them or distributes them. The part # is DG100-01

Hey any help I can be to you or Ben is a plus for me. You guys have been so helpful to the rest of us. My guess is you guys can get these things form Lance for way less than $50. They're about
3/16 X 1 1/2 flat bar and are 6X6X4 1/2. Hell you could probably make them for next to nothing. I'm Heliarc challenged so I bought them.

Thanks for the photo. Your right on that one. Looks easy to build and I have never run across those before or had a customer mention them to me. Anything that we can make that will help our customers works for all of us in the long run.
Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Ben
