A14 ft. box needs some support;make at least 2 c channel support rods that slide over your up rights.set one on right front and other left rear then if failure occurs you'll still have abillity to get out.we had a camplite 2216SLE and was very similar in size.

Hi and Welcome to PUT.  I am not familiar with your PU, so sorry I can't offer you any help.  Please post away with any questions you have.  Is this your first PU?

FYI, I can tell you from experience that the roof will not fall and trap you in the trailer as long as the door is in place. Just ask anyone who's tried to lower the roof and forgot to put the door up. The other side will drop about 4-5 inches and that's it. Scary yes, dangerous, no.
