Great info Ben & Marty as usual!
I didn't use any reinforcement plates on my T100, but I'll be sure to check the bed out for bulges, etc. when I pull the camper off this month.
I had to jerry rig a spacer of two 2x4's to sit between the camper and front of the bed earlier this Fall. I think I may have mounted the two eyebolts in the rear too far forward. It seems when I tighten down the turnbuckles I am pulling the camper towards the cab, and the top rail of the front of the bed was getting tweaked. The 2x4 spacer has kept the camper from sliding too far forward but that's an "on the road fix" and I need to solve this permanently once I have the camper off for the winter.
Good info you guys are sharing and I appreciate your accessibility!

Ben here:)
The eyebolts should pull in opposite directions. Sounds like you did an install yourself on this one?
The T-100 that we had problems with was in Alaska and on the road on almost a full time basis over some rough roads. The plates did fix it though.
To help the camper from hitting the front rail of the truck you can put two rubber bumpers on the bottom of the front wall. You can usually find something what will work from a rubber supply store or a marine store. Some of the old bumpers that we used to use were from a marine store. Don't remember what they called them but the were about 3 inches thick and about 4 inches long.
