No Im not talking about girls shaking thier top! I hear a lot of talk about campers moving around dispite being held down by the turn buckles, but I have yet to hear anyone talk about putting a shim between the wheel well and camper. I through a few pieces of plywood in there and now it cant move from side to side and stays much tighter.

I posted pictures on the shims or "V's" I made for our camper on both WTW and on FWC Facebook. I also place a 12"x12" piece of 1-1/2" extruded roof insulation between the camper and bed rail end. My camper never moves. You can do a search on FWC Facebook Owners. jd

I have spacers at all 4 corners.
After driving many miles on rough roads across the cedar Mesa in Utah nothing shifted. My fridge tiedowns were very inadequate and I am working on it.

Torklift Derringers = no movement of the camper. Fridge tie-downs are another matter!
