Curious from members that have done the install of an Andersen WDH. My Camplite 16DB has the 2x3 frame and the concern I have is going to the 75 ftlb torque Andersen wants on the brackets. They stress to be careful to not crush the frame as depending on frame strength, this could happen.

Just curious what owners have torqued their brackets to that have the 2x3 frame. I torqued to 60 ftlb on my initial setup and since it is Saturday, Andersen isn't open to call. Will call Monday to see what their suggestions are. I have the raised brackets so I also have 4 set screws total. With all the weight on the truck the brackets didn't shift, but opting to wait to test drive it until I hear back from personal experience and also Andersen.

Thanks.
