A Safe Ride is a Comfortable Ride

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.


Don't Ruin Your Truck's Looks

how will tork lift tie downs look on my truck

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.


Custom Fit, No-Drill Installation

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.


how to find the right tie down for my truck - custom camper tiedown

Securing Your Camper

TorkLift Tie Down Example

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!).


where to put camper tie downs

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.

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.

by:

Definitely love these tie downs. I can convert my truck into a camper in less than five minutes and they securely hold the slide-in no matter the road conditions or terrain we are crossing.



by:

Holly smokes that was some fast shipping! Ordered in the evening and the package was delivered just after noon, the next day.

Great quality and easy installation. Made it possible to go pick up & haul my new camper.



by:

Would have given it 5 stars except I am a little disappointed with the paint quality. Most parts had chips and spots of bare metal right out of the box. Installation was a breeze though and everything fit perfectly! I still would recommend this set, but if you have the extra $ maybe the aluminum version would be worth it if you are worried about rust? Too late for me though...



by:

Received my order without any issues. Installation was easy, as advertised. First use went well.
Thank you



by:

excellent quality



by:
2011 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty

Directions to install were very good. Had to drill a 7/16" hole through 1/4" steel on each side of the leaf spring hanger bracket (no fun at all). Driver side install has perfect alignment. Passenger side would not align horizontal to ground like driver side. Emailed customer service and they responded quickly and effectively. They provided and alternative which made the alignment better but not as good as the driver side. Still functional.
Not very happy with the finish. The paint (powder coat) was the worst and kept peeling off everywhere. A spray-can of Rustoleum made it all good!



by:

A+ for fit, finish and ease with mounting. Do not believe Turnbuckle angle is proper not allowing enough forward tension or pull on Camper. Also , filling up with gas requires dismounting turnbuckle to access gas fill door.



by:

Very sturdy with solid mounting hardware.
Works
very well for anchor points of 2500lbs and more.
Paint could be better, mine have rust developing on all 4 corners.
So I'll just have to clean them up and repaint them.
But as for the strong build, I'm very glad the design is solid....



by:

The TorkLift tie-downs do a great job. The package arrived promptly and I am happy with the service.




by:

Installing them was relatively simple, but you should tell people that they need short drill bits. There is little room between the frame and pickup box, unless you have a angle drill. Also in the instructions you have bolts that need to be torxed down but I only found two of the three you list. I would give you five stars but for what you get they are overpriced.



by:
2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Easily bolted on to my 2013 F-250 Super Duty. It's not often something is truly "bolt-on", as stated in a vendor's description of items without some type of modification. These were a nice change of pace and somewhat enjoyable to install. I found the instructions to be sufficient.



by:

Ez to in stall about 10 minutes on the rear ones and about 30 minutes on the front on a 2012 f 250 super duty not bad at all



by:

I just received my product from etrailer several days early. Everyone I dealt was extremely helpful and friendly. I will not hesitate to purchase from them again.



by:

Perfect product. Amazing service! Caroline B. really made it happen for me when I called to expedite shipping. I needed the parts before the weekend in order to pick up a truck camper several hours from my home prior to leaving town. Caroline corrected the order, cancelled the original, and had it shipped within 20 minutes. She followed up with emails on tracking as well as delivery. etrailer always has such amazing service, and Caroline really came in clutch for me. Thank you!!!



by:

Excellent service and great products



by:

Service from etrailer was great. Torklift tie downs fit perfect and easy to install. I wish everything that was "bolt on" fit like this.



by:

Great service and easy install



by:

Installed for a 2800# slide in camper. Installed easily and worked perfectly for holding the camper in place.



by:

Just what I needed to tie down the truck camper securely to the frame of the truck. Easy installation with understandable directions. Great staff and products!



by:

    Torklift does not offer just the frame portion of their tie down kits. So for your 2011 Ford F-250 you'd have to go with the entire kit of part numbers # TLF2012 and # TLF3006 and you'd be set.

  • Correct Front and Rear TorkLift Camper Tie Downs for a 2016 Ford F-350 Dually
    According to TorkLift, the TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs # TLF2012 you have for the front aren't going to transfer to your new 2016 Ford F-350, however the rear TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs # TLF3006 will.

  • Torklift Camper Tie Down Recommendation for 2013 Ford F-250 Short Bed Diesel
    Torklift does not ask what the engine style is when using their fitguide to determine the correct tie down fit so having a diesel or a gas engine will not matter. For your 2013 F250 4X4 diesel, extended cab, short bed the correct Torklift tie downs are the part # TLF2012 for the front and then for the rear part # TLF3006 and you'd be set! Only thing else you'll need is a set of turnbuckles like the stainless steel TorkLift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles # TLS9529-2-LK.

    The camper tie downs you referenced, # TLC2214A, are designed for various GM trucks and will not fit your 2015 Ford F-350. But not to worry because we have options for your truck as well. I have included a link to them for you to the right.

  • Recommended RV Camper Tie Downs for 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty 6-3/4 Foot Bed with Factory Hitch
    Yes, you are correct without board does mean running board. The TorkLift Custom Tie-Downs # TLF2012 and # TLF3006 will fit as long as those factory running boards don't extend past the cab of the vehicle. This is because the access holes where the tie-downs mount can be used or covered up in most cases by the running boards. The TorkLift Rear Tie-Downs # TLF3006 will also require there to be a hitch installed with an open ended receiver tube to mount properly, this is why there is the...

  • Front Torklift Frame Tie-Down Recommendation for a 2008 Ford F-250 Short Bed
    Since you have a short bed 2008 Ford F 250 you would have to use the part # TLF2012 as the # TLF2011 is only for the long bed trucks. There's no way I can recommend you modify the # TLF2011 so that it would fit your truck. The brackets are different for the exact reason you have found.

  • Camper and Tie-Down Recommendation for Ford F250 Super Duty with 6-1/2 Ft Bed
    I spoke with one of our local RV dealers here in Saint Louis and he said that they offer a 6.8 and 8.6 Ft truck camper that would work with your truck. You will need to drop or completely remove your tailgate before hauling this type of camper. When choosing a camper you will also want to make sure that you do not exceed the weight capacity of your truck. When it comes to tie-downs, I personally recommend going with our custom fit TorkLift camper tie-downs like the # TLF2012 and # TLF3006....
