If you are still looking for "tips", here's mine.

Always consider the distance between the bed rails of your truck bed and the bottom side of the over hang (king pin area) of your camper.

If one twists one way, the other twists the other way, it's easy for the underside of the trailer over hang to make contact with the bed rails and ding-up both camper and truck.

You don't have this problem with a bumper pull trailer. So, always watch that rear view mirror and keep an eye on that distance. If it looks too close, back out and readjust your approach over that dip, or twisted slope.

Regardless of how much distance you have between bed rails and bottom of the over hang, this is a real potential for problems that does not exist with bumper pulls.
