I would buy the book from Ulrich Dolde (spelling?) on diy camper building.
He explains the different types of methods for dealing with subframe isolation.
I am building on an M1083, and plan to use rail on rail with springs for my truck. That was not an easy decision, but I deal good about...
The best thing is to allow the vehicle frame and the camper subframe move separately. There are hundreds of pages of that info on expo.
You do not want your camper to stiffen your truck. That is a recipe for breaking something.

My plan:
Steel frame. The bottom will be a bit beefy with captive springs holding the box to the truck frame. Wall framing will be max 2” tube. Other places will be angle.
Insulation will be 3” xps foam. So, no exposed steel.
Deciding still on mounting of interior. May run small offset...
Their boxes require a torsion free subframe.
They are limited by your subframe and what you want to hang off them. For example, they do not work well with large rear overhangs and spare tire weight. They prefer a flat reinforced back wall if you plan to hang the tire on the panels.
