Get the safest and most comfortable ride while hauling your camper with tie-downs that mount on the frame of your pickup. Great for your truck's looks: remove the arms from the brackets and you'll hardly know that the brackets are there.
Features:
If you're looking for the best tie-downs for your camper, frame-mounted is the way to go. The frame is the most solid part of your entire vehicle, so it just makes sense to attach your camper to something that's not going to warp, bend, or twist. Even more importantly, the camper's center of gravity will sit lower and its weight will be spread across the entire bed. This avoids a top-heavy load perched on top of your bed rails that's liable to sway and get pushed around by crosswinds. The camper's not going to shift or slide around while you drive; it's going to stay put, and your truck is going to handle just like it does without a camper.
Quick Tip: If you have a plastic or spray-in bed liner, it's important that you use a rubber mat under the camper to eliminate any sliding or bouncing.
Frame-mounted tie-downs are also a great pick for preserving your truck's good looks. The brackets install on the frame, tucked nearly flush with the underside of the vehicle. Remove the arms from the brackets when you're not hauling your camper, and the brackets will be barely visible.
Completely custom to your vehicle, the tie-downs attach to exisiting holes in your frame so that there's little to no drilling and no need for any modifications. Because they're custom, you'll want to use our in-house application guide to make sure you get the exact right model. The tie-downs you need might be different depending on what type of hitch or other accessories you have.
Once the tie-downs are installed, use a set of turnbuckles (sold separately) to secure the camper to the tie-downs. The shank on each arm has 2 pin holes so you can choose how far out they extend, that way the turnbuckles can reach the anchors on your camper without making contact with your truck. Tighten the turnbuckles to the correct level of tension (not too tight!).
Make sure the anchor points are offset from the tie-downs instead of lined up with them so that they will hold your camper from multiple angles. This is important for keeping your camper from shifting. Two holes in the attachment plate of the tie-downs let you find the best angle for you camper anchors.

Product is excellent and appears to be very durable. Was not difficult to install, though fishing the bolt through the drivers side frame was compounded by a fuel line but the wire tool is excellent. Finished install in about an hour.
Had to drill holes in the box to attach the top bracket. Neither side aligned with the existing holes. The holes that attached to the frame were fine.
Installation papers where poor quality (especially the pictures). The brackets I'm very happy with. The bolt holes didn't line up exactly but with a little work they do bolt down. The bolt for the top bracket is to close to the support for the washers so nut only. The video shows end caps but were not included.
It's been a long haul just trying to learn about trucks and slide-in campers. Of course, you don't know what you don't know until you start learning something new. I decided months ago I wanted a truck and slide-in not realizing, at the time, I'd need to think about mounts, turnbuckles, pigtails, payloads, etc! The popular choice for mounts and turnbuckles was Torklift with Fast Guns so I went all in on both. The ordering process via etrailer.com was super easy. They make is simple to pick the right mounts if you know the basics of your truck. Delivery time was very reasonable at about 10 days (and free shipping). Installation was easy too and I'm NOT mechanically inclined. I also received a free set of turnbuckle locks, out of the blue, and couldn't be more excited. Product is great and worth the higher price tag. etrailer.com service was fabulous with regular communication after the order was placed with an unexpected gift to round out the transaction.
Camilla was great. She was efficient and she followed up after emailing me info. She got the order processed quickly and your company got the tie downs to us in 2 days!!! That is why we continue to buy from etrailer
Great seller, great communication and shipping! I bought the TLF2007, front camper tie downs, for my 2004 Ford F350. Reasonably easy to install in about an hour by myself. The product seems well engineered and very sturdy. Everything lined up great with pre-existing frame and bed mounting rail holes.
These are built very good. They Install easy enough but the front take a little more effort. No fault of the manufacture. The truck fuel lines, fuel tank, etc make it a bit more time consuming. The manufacturer includes some aids that are very helpful.
Purchased tie down brackets for camper, they are strong, designed well giving me confidence when I'm on the road.
Great delivery and pricing.

Great, product is just what we needed for our truck mount camper
the items were delivered fast, I only had an issue with the rear brackets, but I called and talked with Paula @ext 79354, She was awesome! it was painless, got everything resolved and all is good! thank you.
Everything I expected and more. The quality is obvious as soon as you open the box great product can't wait to get it installed and pick up mu new camper.
Great quality, bolted right up and only took a little over an hour! Only thing that needs to be changed is the price! Very expensive.
Great quality and fast delivery
Quality products.
solid construction and easy to install
The units appeared to be well made and were nicely painted. I installed them on my F150. The tools and hardware supplied were of good quality and installation was straight forward. Two people would have been great, but I was able to install both sides in a little less than an hour. The holes all line up very well. I like these better than the previous units I had on my 2013, as they do not stick out as far - so less noticeable. The extension arms come out at a very nice angle just under the body. I find these units with quality I expected and I think they will be highly functional in attaching my camper.
I had the mountings professionally attached to the frame. The hatches can be easily removed when not in use( and I would recommend that to keep them from being stolen). Using chains and turnbuckles, I feel very comfortable with my truck camper staying where it is.. does not rock, very solid.
It’s nice to feel secure about my camper staying firmly attached.
It was worth the investment.
