Stainless steel turnbuckles allow you to firmly secure your truck bed camper to your tie-down system. Internal springs on front turnbuckles help to reduce stress on tie-down points.

- J-hooks provide strong, secure connection to anchor points
- Front turnbuckles are spring loaded to help reduce stress on tie-down points
- Rear turnbuckles are cushioned with rubber

Specs:
- Application: HappiJac truck-mounted tie-downs for truck campers
- Front turnbuckles
- Minimum reach: 16-1/2"
- Maximum reach: 23-1/2"
- Threaded hook length: 11"
- Rear turnbuckles
- Minimum reach: 22-1/2"
- Maximum reach: 35-1/2"
- Threaded hook length: 24"
- 1-Year warranty
These HappiJac turnbuckles are recommended for use with HappiJac truck bed camper tie-downs (sold separately), but they can also be used with most other tie-down systems that accept J-hook-style turnbuckles. Unlike standard chain-style turnbuckles, HappiJac turnbuckles provide more stability and better control to prevent shifting of your camper during travel.
Simple, Manual Operation
To secure your camper in your truck bed, hook the threaded end of each turnbuckle onto an anchor point on your camper and then connect the non-threaded end to the tie-down anchor on your truck. Then simply hand-tighten each turnbuckle barrel for a secure connection.
Upgrade Anytime to Qwik-Load Operation
For faster operation, you can upgrade these standard turnbuckles with the HappiJac Qwik-Load system (LC182894). The Qwik-Load handles keep you from having to hand-tighten each turnbuckle, and they allow you to quickly and easily disconnect.

Stainless steel turnbuckles allow you to firmly secure your truck bed camper to your tie-down system. Internal springs on front turnbuckles help to reduce stress on tie-down points.by: Phillip04/25/2024
Been using HappiJac turnbuckles for years with out ever a problem..i know i can trust them to keep the camper in place in all type of conditions. Purchased a new camper and was tempted to go with the faster ones but its hard to go against what has been a proven product. It takes a little more time to install them but ive never heard of any wanting to steel them of the truck. F-350 w/ lance 1160..waiting for my new Northstar 850sc

Very good quality. No issue after 1 year in the weather. No pitting or rust on the bodies or threads.

So far, so good. Got our Lance camper home with no problems.

Installed Item #LC182910-182971 (FT-UT9 kit) on my 1992 Chevy Silverado K3500 Single-Wheels w/8' Bed. Arrived quickly with all needed parts and good installation guide. Install took leisurely 3 or 4 hours total; nothing hard to do. Mount attached below to chevy's frame "ears", the c-bolts came down directly adjacent to both frame ears for easy drilling and a solid install. Couldn't be happier to install something solid, while dumping my older ineffective stake-well mounts that were always a pain getting torqued, twisted and loose.

Great camper tie down connection device. We let our trusted mechanic install it for a flawless result. This item is just the ticket for securing the load. In our case, we connected a restored vintage '95 Elkhorn 8' camper to an airbag-equipped 2011 Toyota Tundra. Drove from AZ to northwestern Montana and lived in it for 3 weeks. Great product, guys! (Tried multiple times to share photos, but site will not allow it!)
by: Heath 04/10/2024
Quality price and quality product. Very happy with overall shopping experience!
by: Jeannie06/29/2023
Construction of product is good except for the fact that the threaded hooks and retainer nut are not SS and therefore will be susceptible to rust & deterioration.
by: William 05/04/2023
Great product for the Money very good tie downs
by: Adam 12/13/2022
These hold down work as designed and are easy to use. I especially like how the lock nut keeps them tight even over rough roads. I would recommend them to hold down any truck camper effectively.
by: Jocelyn08/14/2023
These were a different style than what we had on our old camper, but they fit like a glove and we have been so pleased with the customer service and email notifications regarding our order.
by: David09/11/2021
I bought 4 HappiJac turnbuckles to hold my truck camper on the back of my truck. They work great. Thank you etrailer.com for recommending a good quality, resonable priced product for my needs.
by: Bob 10/05/2022
Bought this product in September of 2021 , a year later i can tell that the tie down system works great with very little sway of camper side to side , I would recommend these to every camper owner .
by: Robert01/21/2023
Fantastic customer support. I will be sending sn email because bolt kit D is missing
by: Elkmonger08/17/2021
Nice simple design that functions well. I just got back from Ohio with my Camper and the tie-downs functioned perfectly at or maybe slightly above all posted speed limits. No problems.
I installed these with Torqlift anchors and used some chain and quick links form TSC.
by: Kristen12/18/2021
Very happy with the quality of these turnbuckles, I’ve used cheaper versions and they just don’t up like these ones do.
by: Claude 07/11/2021
These were replacements for the originals from 2001. Nice quality and should provide good service for a long time. The front turnbuckles were still good, the rear ones had the rubber bushings inside deteriorate and needed replacing.
by: Dan 01/12/2021
I’m a rancher and a picky one at that. Ordering seemed straight forward enough. The products arrived 2-4 days earlier than expected. The camper frame tie downs, 20 ton hitch, and all necessary hardware were in excellent condition and quality made products. Very nice.
by: David 12/30/2021
After having a set for almost 20 years, I thought it was time (probably overdue) to replace them. The turnbuckles have always worked well for me.
by: Richard 06/23/2023
Excellent, Choice excellent service
by: Kent 08/20/2021
It appears the front turnbuckles are going to be short. I should be able to fix it by adding a couple locking links.
by: Sean09/11/2021
Overall it’s a good place to start, I had to fabricate a spacer to make the drivers side front bracket fit and the rear clamp on the brace is a little bit questionable as to weather it will hold and sufficiently brace the bumper. I may change that attach method.
by: Dave 09/12/2022
Product as advertised. Shipping very prompt as always with eTrailer. Arrived early.
by: Randall05/14/2021
They would not reach from tork frame mounts to camper tie downs. I would not have purchased if I new that.
by: Wayne11/12/2020

There are other options with a longer reach if you're needing more than 23-1/2" so let me know what you have and I'd be happy to find the right fit.
