Expert Answers about Truck Camper Tie Downs


  • Recommended Camper Tie Down for 2019 Nissan Titan XD with 5-1/2 Foot Bed
  • I recommend the Brophy # HSAB. This does not show in the fit guide for a 5-1/2' bed as that short of bed is not generally used for truck campers. So you have to go by how they install to finish verifying. The external bed rail width cannot be more than 5-1/2 inches wide. There will need to be at least 2 inches space under the lip of the bed rail. This install by clamping onto the bed rails of your truck, no drilling required. You will want to use the Brophy Basic Turnbuckles w/ Hardware...

  • Truck Bed Camper Tie Downs for 2000 Ford F250 with Plastic Bed Liner
  • As long as your camper is no longer than 8 feet, and you do not mind having the tie-downs permanently installed in the stake pockets, the # TDSF tie-downs would be my recommendation. Unlike the # HSSF, trimming or cutting the bed liner will not be required. The # TDHP tie down hardware will also be needed to attach the camper to the tie down bracket. You can see current pricing by clicking the provided link.

  • Installing Frame-Mount Camper Tie-Down On 1984 Chevrolet C/K Pickup Truck
  • We do not have a custom tie-down kit for your 1984 Chevrolet pickup but I may have a solution for you. I called my contact at TorkLift and they told me that you can look under the front of yoru truck bed near the cab and see if you have a 4x4 inch space available, you can install part # TLR3500. You would need to drill through the 4x4 space on your frame to mount the tie-downs for your camper. For the rear you can use the same tie-downs but you will need the same 4x4 inch space on each...

  • Do Brophy Camper Hold Downs Black Powder Coat, Part # HSSF, Stress Truck Bed Top Rails?
  • The Brophy Camper Hold Downs, Part # HSSF, install without drilling and use the included padded T-bar hardware to evenly distribute forces downward and inward toward the inside of the truck bed. The top rail itself bears only some of the load from the tie-down points since most stress is distributed to the inside of the bed. I have attached the installation instructions for this item for your review. You will want to review this part for compatibility with your specific year/make/model...

  • Does TorkLift Offer Camper Tie Down Draw Bars as a Separate Item
  • This question has come up before. In order to make the drawbar portions of the tie downs, TorkLift would need to do a special manufacturing run for just that particular item. This would considerably add to the cost of the product, which would end up costing you about the same amount of money, if not more as starting from scratch would. Given this, I'd recommend simply starting from scratch. If your truck does NOT have running boards or a side step that extends under the bed (wheel to...

  • Difference in Turnbuckle Mounting Holes on TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # TLF3006
  • Thank you for your recent purchase of TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # TLF3006. According to my contact at TorkLift the small notches that can appear on some of these turnbuckle mounting holes are simply "artifacts" of the plasma cutting process and are of no consequence in terms of your installation. It is just likely that these plates were cut at different points in the production run. Each of the turnbuckle mounting plates (four in total when using both front and rear...

  • Will Tie-Down Anchors Stop Water Getting in Stake Pockets in 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 With Tonneau Cover?
  • The Erickson Retractable Tie-Down Anchors for Truck Bed Stake Pockets # EM01003 will provide a type of seal to the stake pockets of your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 but they are not designed to keep water out so I could not guarantee you that it will eliminate water into your truck bed. It should give you some relief from the water pouring in, however, as well as providing useful attachment points. There are also simple stake pocket covers, the TruXedo Stake Pocket Covers # TX1704210 which are...

  • Wiring A 3rd Brake Light On A Truck Cap On A 2002 Chevrolet S-10
  • You have a couple of places you can look for the center high mount stop light (CHMSL) circuit on your 2002 Chevrolet S-10. First, if you have a trailer connector at the back of your S-10 you can check beneath the truck where the trailer wiring runs underneath. You can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to determine if any of the wires in the loom are dedicated brake light wires. It would only show current when the brake pedal is pressed. If you have a wire bundle or trailer wiring...

  • Will Camper Battery Connected To Truck Trailer Connector Drain Truck Battery
  • The 12V accessory line on the 7-way connector on your truck which is the pin in the 1 o'clock position when looking at the front of the 7-way, will not charge the battery in your camper. It can maintain the charge of the battery when connected. It is always a good practice to disconnect the trailer from the vehicle to prevent the battery on your truck from discharging. If you have the camper connected to the truck while you are driving or while the truck engine is running, it will not...
