Yes, the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs part # TLC2217 are a confirmed fit for the front of your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the 6-1/2' bed.

In order to choose the correct rear frame mounted tie downs you will first need to determine if you have a factory, TorkLift, or aftermarket trailer hitch receiver. If you have a factory trailer hitch receiver you will want part # TLC3214. If you have an aftermarket trailer hitch receiver such as Curt or Draw-Tite then you will want part # TLR3500.

In order to secure the camper to your frame mounted tie down points, I recommend using the TorkLift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles part # TLS9522-2-LK. I have included a review video of these turnbuckles for you to check out as well.

We have run into this quite a few times in the past, and the best option will be replacing the Lance 7-pin connector with a standard 7-way blade connector like the #PK12706. This will give you a standard 7-way connector to plug into the factory 7-way…

The Trimax King Pin Lock #TMX56RR can still be used with your 5th wheel having a capture plate from PullRite. The capture plate mounts to the top of the kingpin and only takes up a similar amount of space that a Lube Plate #RP83002 would. If you…
