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:
Note: Not compatible with trucks with plastic bed liners.
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.

Were fairly easy to mount, just like the front units. Only minor problem was the angle of the unit was slightly off. It allowed the arm to push up on the bottom of the fender when under tension. I loosened the bolts, cut a slot in a big fender washer and lipped it between the frame and the tiedown to angle it down some. Worked fine, gave it just enough clearence.
Great product, fairly easy install, directions are easily understood. The only reason this did not get 5 stars is 2 of the mounting bolts, the ones through the filler plates, are about 1/4 inch too short. After all torqueing is completed there is just barely a full nut on these 2 bolts. All other bolts have at least 3 threads protruding beyond the nut surface.
Relatively easy installation. Held up great on trip cross country where we unloaded. More than 30 times. Etrailer has great customer service and delivery. The videos and reviews on the site are excellent.
Easy installation with the great instructions - functions as expected on 2021 GM 3500 DRW.
The instructions are slightly wrong. Make sure you drop your spare tire. There is a bigger hole to put the big plate through and you need to drop the spare to see it. There is a video by etrailer that shows the correct way. Also I will be removing and reinstalling one of the bolts because it's not quite long enough on both sides. It needs to be 1/4” longer. 2023 Silverado 3500 ltz dually
Otherwise very heavy duty nice stuff
Perfect fit. easy install
Anyone not using these well engineered frame mounted attachment points are using one of lessor quality. This is my 6th set because I change trucks so often. I automatically order a set for all my trucks. These go on in minutes and are built to use existing structure on the truck frame. You will not be disappointed!!
Works as needed. Used on a 2022 Chevy Dually. Also, happy with speed of shipping.
Excellent product!!
Great product, easy to follow instructions. etrailer was very responsive and helpful the entire purchase. I highly recommended
Easy install. Quality parts
My wife and purchased a Nothern lite camper,our dealer was three to four weeks out on frame mounted tie downs for a 2020 GMC 3500 DRW Duramax,I called Steve at etrailer,Product was at my front door in 5 days ,install was seamless, great fitment,thks Steve
Quality product, delivered on time (despite the difficult times we are in). My husband contacted the company to make sure the tie-downs were the right ones for our truck before we bought it and the individual he spoke with assured us they were. We have made several purchases from this company and highly recommend them and their products. The instructions were clear and accurate. The tie-downs fit as described and we are looking forward to being able to get a larger camper soon.
Forklift Tiedowns are the best on the market. Was not happy I had to buy a complete set when I upgraded from my 2018 GNC Dually to a 2022 but install was seamless and figment is excellent. These new mounts are more hidden than on my 18. etrailer customer service has always been excellent! Thank you etrailer!
Quick delivery though they were missing directions (it was an open box). Customer Service had Torklift email them to me. The install was easy with no issues on my 2021 Chevy 3500 crew cab dually.
I was told by 3 RV dealerships that these parts were backordered and will be months before they could get them in. I spoke to Roger on the phone when ordering to make sure I received the correct parts. He was very helpful and I received my parts within days. I can't thank you enough Roger and look forward to using your company in the future.
You guys were so fast I have not had a chance to install them yet, thanks again.
Installation was easy, love them. Solidly built
Excellent installation instructions. Solid structure.
