Ok, snaked a cheapo borescope down in the gap between the bed and the front of the camper. It's sitting flat on the rubber mat. So at least now I know that it's not teetering on something.

So this tells me that relative to the bed, the bed rails are lower in the front than they are in the rear.

So now I'll sleep a bit better that it's all flat on the bed.

my camper looks like it is doing that also from cirtian angles, for me its an optical ilusion created by the curve in the rear quarter panel railes. they are strait on the inside of the box but have a curve on the outside.

It's just weird, my first camper and it was really bothering me to the point I almost wrecked while I was watching to see if the camper was rocking back and forth.

There really wasn't a solution just more of the same back and forth. I posted some pics and after that I tried to get it perfectly level but with no luck. My Chevy bed is slanted to the rear and closer on the sides in the rear than in the front. That was my answer. Good luck with yours!


Now it's slanted front to back? Pretty sure you said the bed is the same depth front to back.

But you see this is the problem with dredging up old threads and hijacking them with your own "related" question. You end up getting lost in the original content.

My problem is solved. I hope that others with the F-350 can benefit from my experience.

This one I suspect is not an optical illusion.
