Quick-release levers make it fast and easy to secure your camper to your vehicle. Short turnbuckles extend from 14" to 21-1/2" for bed-mounted tie-downs. Long turnbuckles extend from 25" to 43" to fit frame-mounted tie-downs.

Specs:
Standard turnbuckles have to be manually tightened, which can be a bit of a chore. TorkLift FastGun handles eliminate this difficult step. Just hook one end of each turnbuckle onto your camper and hook the other end onto the camper tie-downs that are mounted to your truck's bed. Then, to tighten the turnbuckles, flip the lever-action handles down - it's that simple. Sturdy pin locks are included to secure the handles in place, ensuring that your tie-down system remains tight and secure.
When you reach your campsite and you're ready to set up, just remove the pins (or locks), and flip the FastGun handles up to release the tension on the turnbuckles. With the tension released, you can quickly and easily remove the turnbuckles, activate your jacks, and set up your camper. This quick-disconnect feature is also great if one of the attached turnbuckles covers your truck's fuel tank door. No need to manually twist an older style turnbuckle and remove chains to disengage the entire system. Just pop the FastGun handle up, unhook the turnbuckle so you can move it out of the way, and fuel up.

Speaker 1: Today, we're going to be taking a look at the TorkLift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles. Now, these turnbuckles secure your camper to the tie-downs mounted on your truck at all four corners. The unit's going to come with two short range turnbuckles that secure the camper to bed-mounted tie-downs, and it comes with two long range turnbuckles to secure the camper to frame-mounted tie-downs. Now, these are lever-action handles that make the turnbuckles easy to operate. All you have to do is push down on the handle. Once the hooks are in place to tighten, pop up the handle to release the tension.
Now, this is a spring-loaded design so the spring-loaded design really helps reduce stress on the tie-down points. The unit does feature spring-tension indicators on both the drivers and passenger sides for simple set up.You'll notice that it has the round O-rings. These are only used as a gauge to set your spring tension, and you can adjust it as necessary. This kit is easily lockable with sturdy, secure pin locks. It does come with four keyed-alike locks, as well as all the necessary keys that you need.
I have two of them installed just to show you how they install. Now, they also come with these pins as well. These are what are typically used. Again, this kit does include the locks so that way you can lock everything up for security. When it comes to the construction, it's made from a high-impact stainless steel construction.
It's very durable and rust proof. Features a really nice, well done, gray powder coated finish. Product's made in the USA. It's also going to come with some quick connect connection points there as well, four of those.Now, the short range turnbuckles, again these are designed for bed-mounted tie-downs for truck campers. They have a reach of 14" to 21-1/2".
The long range turnbuckles are designed for frame-mounted tie-downs for truck campers. They have a 25" to 43" reach. This product's covered with a lifetime warranty. When setting up the system for the first time, you want to do so according to the included instructions. The instructions walk you through the entire process step-by-step to get it set up for your application. Now, once you have the unit set up for your application, using the system is super easy. All you have to do is hook one end of each turnbuckle onto your camper and hook the other end to the tie-down. Again to tighten, all you have to do is flip the lever action handles down to apply tension. Then to release tension, flip the handles up.That's all there is to it. It's going to be set up for your application after the initial set up again according to the instructions. Now, one of the other neat features about the quick-disconnect design is it's great if one of the attached turnbuckles covers your truck's fuel tank door. Getting to the fuel tank door, if you've ever had a cover up issue in the past has been pretty difficult and time consuming. With this system, all you have to do is flip the handle up, unhook the turnbuckle, move it out of the way, and you're ready to fuel up. Then once you're done fueling up, put the hooks back in place, flip the handle down, and you're set and ready to get back on the road. That's going to do it for today's look at the Torklift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles.

great product...a little pricey but worth the cost. At least this way you know for sure that your camper is secured and you do not have to deal with a wrench along the highway. I would purchase again.
I am totally happy with the design/engineering and the quality of the TorkLift Truck Camper tie-downs. After installation of the frame mounts, the process of tying down the camper is simple and fast. etrailer helped by providing written and video information on the frame mounting and Turn buckles. After the order was received eTrailer did a great job of communicating the status of my order all the way to delivery. One other thing, I like about etrailer is they ask me to write a review one year after my purchase. One year gives me time to use the equipment, I have used it many times, and it has held up and I still see a value of the product.
Turnbuckles work as expected. I needed the quick release turnbuckles due to the fact that the fuel fill door was located directly behind my standard manual turnbuckle. The fuel fill door only opened about 50 degrees and I did not want to scratch the paint on my new truck.
Great quality product. We keep our camper on the truck 90% of the time but when we do take it off, these are really quick and simple to use. Tightening them properly is less exact than the instructions make it out to be, but the spring-loading gives you a bit of forgiveness, and you get used to it with time.
My one complaint is that the locks don't feel nearly as stable as the pins, and you can actually pull one of the locks apart if you try hard, although they have stayed on fine while driving.
One other thing, which I personally don't care about, is that the stickers on each turnbuckle that let you label the corner the turnbuckle goes to, these stickers do not last after a lot of wear. All but one have fallen off along the way, and the last one is only half intact with the top half having ripped off. But I don't think the stickers are needed.
I haven't used them yet to tie down a camper, but I have no doubt that they will work perfectly. I did my research and they are highly rated.
I love the Forklift tie-downs and Fast Gun turnbuckles. This is my second camper and truck setup, so this is my second set of tie downs but my first set of Fast Guns. The tie downs are great. I love that they are frame mounted instead of bed mounted. The truck and camper move like one unit. It feels very stable and I am completely comfortable taking the 4x4 truck anywhere I want with the camper attached. The Fast Guns are extremely nice and easy to operate. They definitely decrease the time required to attach and detach the camper from the truck. I am very happy with the whole setup.
Great turnbuckles. High quality material. However for nearly $xxxx they should be perfect. one of mine came with chips in the coating and one of the rivets was not fully seated and had come with scratches all of the way though the coating on the inside of the lever. There was not enough clearance for the rivet to clear the lever, they just closed it and called it good??? Quality control measures are coming up short. Unfortunately I don't have the time or desire to get a replacement so now I have to deal with the small defects. For that price it would be fair to say that they should ship in perfect condition. This is my second set of these and the first ones had similar issues.
Very durable and efficient product to use. Adjust it with the right measurement at the first use and you will not need to adjust them again when removed. The install process will be very quick and easy on the next trip.
I was able to take long trips and going off-road with my truck camper on the bed of my pick-up truck with only these device holding and keeping everything in place. Very secure and gives good peace of mind. Also, looks good with the pick-up and camper installed. We will purchase one again from Etrailer if needed it in the future.
Easy to use once you have your lengths adjusted. I added a little pipe insulation at the top on the one that goes over my gas tank door. When I stop for gas, all I have to do is unlock it and let it hang from the camper mount then easily reattach when done.
useful and easy specfically like the ease to refill the truck fuel tank
Seem to be very well made but are quite expensive for what they are. Seemed like one of the safer options to reduce strain on the truck and the camper since they are dampened with internal springs. Looking forward to using these and hitting the open road.
This products is well made. The transaction was easy and the product arrived as expected. I've been using this product for a year and I have no complaints. There is no sign of rust. They are easy to remove and install. I also like the spring loaded action insulating the tie down points from excess stress. The only negative.....and it's a small one.....the stickers indicating which corner to install on, fell off after only a few uses. No biggie!
Quality is very evident in the craftsmanship and so much faster than traditional turnbuckles.
I installed these on my 2022 Ram 3500 SRW over a year ago for use with a Northern Lite 9-6 camper. Excellent instructions, installation was easy with simple tools, fit and finish is very good and they perform exactly as required. Definitely recommend!
Best turnbuckle in the business but pricing seems out of line with materials used. It's not make with tungsten or titanium for gosh sakes....
Excellent product - the complete setup with all 4 turnbuckles and locks. They were easy to assemble and convenient to use. These turnbuckles hold the camper stable. If I need to remove the camper from the truck they are easy to take off, adjust and put back on later. In addition, due to the location of my gas tank one of the turnbuckles blocks it. So far this has not caused any issues because it only takes a moment to remove that one, pump gas, and put it back on.
Super easy to handle once the easy set up is complete. Great for our truck since the tie down prevents opening the fuel cap cover. They stay snug, unlike turnbuckles that require frequent checking. Wish they were cheaper; I knocked off 1 star for Value.
All great products and I had an issue with my order missing locks. I emailed customer service. They emailed me first so all I had to do is respond. That was super convenient. E trailer has really worked on their customer service and it’s outstanding. Thank you Wes
Easy to setup and use, very happy!
Outstanding product. Just finished over 8000 miles of traveling. So much easier leveling and re installing tie downs. No problems whatsoever. Quicker than chains and turnbuckles by far. And they look very cool.
TorkLift frame mounted tie downs, Torklift Fast Gun tie downs - AWESOME! Arrived Thursday as promised, picked the new Cirrus camper this morning. Installed the frame mounted tie downs - front and back - 1hour 45 minutes. Thank you etrailer!
Fast shipping.. awesome product ,I have
used them in the past .
I really like the way the truck and camper ride, very stable. The ability to remove the extensions when the camper is off is really a nice feature too.
