auto centering floor for soft floor campers.

The framework is made of 16mm x 1.2mm gal tube and four sliders of 19mm tube around 150mm long and a sliding fit over the 16mm tube.   I also made up a canvas floor that the tube slides into to protect the herculite floor.
The framework is lightweight, quicker than pegging and will automatically centre and hold your floor flat and square regardless of the terrain. It will also hold the walls of the tent out nice and straight.

Obviously only good for free standing soft floor campers.

Yes, perfectly legal!

Interesting idea, it would probably be even more beneficial with campers with angled walls at the far end. It would certainly help in getting the showroom/perfect setup.

Certainly does help as you can see in the photo.   I used this idea on a couple of soft floor campers I had.   A lot easier and quicker than pegs.

I've been looking at your idea.... so when do you out the frame in? Would it just twist if the canvas doesn't line up?

How does it go on sloped ground?

[toglhot]

You pull the hoops over and stretch the floor out like you would normally then step in side and put the framework together.   Once in position adjust the hoop, that's it.   Slope of the ground doesn't affect anything because the rod closest to the camper rests against the tire holding the framework in the correct position, that stretches the floor out nice and flat and once the hoop is adjusted so the floor is just touching the ground the end wall hangs nice and straight.    As I said before, only for free standing campers;i.e., all three hoops are hinged at the camper body.

My camper canvas isn't 'self supporting', but this concept may still work as the extra upright poles could mount into that frame instead of the sewn in pockets in the floor. That way the uprights would hold the frame firmly to the ground.

Where did you buy the steel to do this?
