    low budget 3 car into 5 car remodel.

    john, i built a bracket that bolts to the main frame and has extension bars to keep the camper from falling over. the bottom of the bracket has a radius to aid in pivoting. i did have to install non skid to the bracket in order for the camper to get traction on the concrete.
