Expert Answers about Truck Camper Tie Downs


  • Do HappiJac Truck-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs LC236326-205221 Have Weight Capacity
  • So there actually isn't any specific weight capacity for the HappiJac Truck-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # LC236326-205221. These are designed to handle the weight of any truck bed camper, and that's true of any camper tie-down, which is why there isn't a designated weight rating. If a camper can fit the bed of your Ram, the HappiJac tie-downs will safely hold it in place. The only other thing you will need with these tie-downs are turnbuckles, the HappiJac Qwik-Load Turnbuckles # LC182895...

  • Do Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs Have A Weight Capacity
  • There is no weight capacity for the Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs # HSSF. The tie-down hardware kit # TDHP, that is used to secure the camper to the # HSSF tie-downs has a weight capacity of 3,000-lbs. My contact at Brophy said the tie-downs will handle the camper and the concern would be if the truck capacity was not able to handle it, but with an F-350 you should have no issue. Since the front tie-down is behind the camper tie-down, the rear tie-down must be forward of the camper...

  • Do Brophy Camper Tie-Downs HSWB Have a Camper Weight Limit
  • Brophy Camper Tie-Downs # HSWB do not have a weight rating since they do not support the camper's weight. The truck bed and frame handle that actual camper load and the tie downs provide stability to prevent the camper from shifting in the bed.

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for a 2005 Toyota Tundra Hauling an In Bed Camper
  • To add a set of Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement to your 2005 Toyota Tundra 4WD, you will want item # TTORTUN4. This system is custom fit and has a 6,000 lbs capacity. This are our lightest capacity Timbrens for your truck and are still overkill for a 1,200 lbs camper. A better option would be the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs item # SSR-610-54. These have a 2,800 lbs capacity and only engage when you place weight on the rear suspension. SumoSprings use a system called progressive...

  • Weight Limit For Brophy Camper Hold Down # HSSF On 1995 Ford F-250 Longbed
  • After speaking to my contact at Brophy, she informed me the Brophy Camper Hold Down # HSSF technically does not have a weight range.

  • What is the Capacity of Brophy Truck Bed Tie Downs HSSF and Will they Fit a 1997 Ford F-350
  • As long as your 1997 Ford F-350 is not a step side, does not have a double wall bed, and is not a dually then the Brophy tie downs, # HSSF, will fit.

I also recommend adding the hardware package # TDHP to secure the camper to the tie downs.

The part of the inner tube that you tie the camper off to is 1/4 inch thick. The outer tube is larger at 2 inches square...

  • What is the Width of the Camper Hold Down Black Powder Coated Finish Qty 4, # HSSF
  • I spoke with my contact at Brophy about the Camper Hold Down Black Powder Coated Finish (Qty 4), # HSSF. She stated that they are 6 inches wide.

To install, first place the protective tape under the rest plates and on the T-Bars. Next, thread the T-Bar into the nut at bottom of each Holdown. Then...

  • Will Brophy Camper Hold Downs # HSSF Fit a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500
  • The camper hold downs, # HSSF, will fit your 1998 Dodge Ram and hold a camper that is appropriately sized for you truck.
