ABSTRACT:
To provide needed stability between a vehicle, such as a pick up truck, and an added removable body component, such as a camper, one or more large inflatable structural components are positioned fully between them at the cab location. For example, wherein a large camper is placed on a pick up truck and the camper has a cab-over portion generally housing a sleeping space, two inflatable structural components are utilized. One structural component is located fully on the cab roof and inflated into mutual contact with the cab-over portion of the camper that is directly opposite the full cab roof; the other structural component is located between the full rear of the cab, minus any window area, and the front wall of the camper, minus any window area, and is inflated into mutual contact with their respective surfaces. Each structural component functions to withstand and to modify the possible changing relative motions between the vehicle and body component so they become more of an overall single-like structural unit increasing the overall stability of their combination.
