I guess some newer campers have the holding tanks under the floor, making the floor higher than the bed. Putting screws into a holding tank would be bad.
I hope that would work for me. A simple solution. Does the 1 1/2 inch or so clearance of the 2x6's give the needed room for the flex you get when driving off one of those steep sloping driveways like out of a service station? The cab and the bed flex independently. Have you ever clipped the cab with the overhang when flexing?
