- Difference Between The Brophy Tie Downs TDSF and HSSF For a Camper Towed By a 2000 Ford F-150
- I contacted our representative at Brophy about the differences between the Tie Down Anchor, part # TDSF, and the Camper Tie Down, part # HSSF.
Part # TDSF can be used on campers that have a total length of up to 8 feet in length. Part # HSSF can be used on any size campers.
Part # TDSF mounts into the stake pocket, where as part # HSSF mounts over the sidewall of the truck bed.
Also, part # HSSF is ok to use in trucks with spray-in bed liners. If your truck has a drop-in bed liner, it...

- A frame-mounted camper tie-down system will generally be a better option than a clamp-on type since it uses the strength of the truck's frame to secure the slide-in camper. For your 2017 Ram 1500 we have a number of such frame-mount kits from TorkLift that appear on the linked page.
The fit of the front and rear tie-downs depends on the truck's overall configuration including bed length, hitch type and whether or not there is a step under the bed. You can use the Select Vehicle Style...

- On the ends of the Brophy tie downs # HSAB where you would tie off the camper the tip is turn up to be parallel with the ground. The angled design allows more clearance between hold-downs and truck fenders.On # HSSF the tips are not turn up and are at about a 45 degree angle.

view full answer... - What is the Difference Between Brophy Truck Camper Tie-Downs
- Yes, the # HSAB is angled at the ends making it easier to attach the turnbuckles and keeping the tie-downs further from the truck's fenders. The # HSSF will work just as well but isn't quite as easy to connect.

- The Brophy Camper Hold-Down Kits # HSSF and # HSBP differ in their finish. The HSBP has a zinc finish while the HSSF has a black powder-coat finish.
Both of these products are intended to fit a broad range of trucks with the exceptions of some double-wall beds, step-side beds, and some dually and import trucks. These fit trucks that have a downward lip on the underside of the bed rail. Bed liners may require trimming in some cases.
Both kits feature easy no-drill 2-bolt installation...

- The TruXedo Pro X15 Soft Tonneau Cover # TX1484901 is more of a low profile tonneau cover. It only sits up less than 1 inch from your truck rails unlike the Truxedo Lo Pro # TX584901 which sits about 1-1/2 inches above the rails. The Lo Pro Soft Roll-Up # TX584901 is a bit more glossy.

Only difference is the height added to the truck bed and the finish of the top....

- There are two ways to install a fifth wheel hitch on a pick up truck. One would be to use standard bed-mounted rails. Brackets are mounted to the truck frame with the bed rails sitting directly above. Holes are drilled down through the truck bed to correspond with holes in the brackets bolted to the frame, allowing the bed rails to be securely bolted down. The rails have slots in them that allow the hitch to be installed and removed pretty conveniently. The problem here is that once the...

- Since you have a tonneau cover, the best option would be to go with the Westin Truck-Pal Fold-Up Bed Ladder, # 10-3000, as it does not have a bracket that needs to be mounted on the top of the tail gate, which the Convert-A-Ball Step Gate - Universal Truck Tailgate Step - 1 Step, # CAB-SG, does have. That bracket on the Covert-A-Ball could cause fit issues with the tonneau cover, so it would be best to avoid that possibility and go with the ladder. I have also included a link to other step-up...

- If you are trying to decide between the 20k # BWRVK3300 and 25k # BWRVK3305 B&W Companion hitches, I recommend going with the 25k option. Yes, this is the more expensive option, but due to your truck having such a high 5th wheel towing capacity, I believe this will suit your truck better. Even if your 5th wheel isn't near this capacity, it does give you the option to upgrade down the road if you ever feel the need to do so and will absolutely handle trailers with a lighter weight.

- Great question. The TracONE at 27000B is the discontinued older model which has been replaced by the # TH27000XTB. Thule bought out TracRac and the only real update to that specific rack is the style of the hold downs. The newer style is more user friendly and holds ladders or cargo more effectively. If you have the older rack and want the newer style load stops you can use the Replacement Load Stops for Thule Aeroblade Load Bars, Ladder Racks, or Thule TracRac CapRac - Qty 4 # 753-3761.
