Thanks! I put a lot of time into making it a functioning product.

My Dad bought the AMP and returned it as it mounted at the front of the bed. That got me thinking there had to be a better way.

does that just slide into a camper tie down?

No, I fabricated a support that mounts to one of the bed cross supports.
