I'm not sure what you mean by this. What is the front floor?
If you are referring to the part of the camper that hangs over the truck (what i call the cabover) and the roof of the truck body, there is no connection. The roof of the truck slopes down in every direction. At it's highest point, which is towards the rear of the cab and in the middle from driver to passenger side, the cabover is maybe 1 inch over the roof. At the edge above the windshield that gap is 3 inches or so.
There is some flex between the truck bed and the cab (in all trucks) so I didn't want to marry the two. I really think the cabover is strong enough to lay down in, I just dont want to test it.
I know that gap will be a huge drain on my mileage so I'm thinking about how I can make an airfoil to close the space between the windshield and cabover. Also, the truck roof can definitely support a few hundred pounds. If I shove some foam in there and shape it just right I think I could have my airfoil and make the cabover body weight bearing...
