For a set of camper tie-downs confirmed to fit your 2017 Ford F-250, I recommend taking a look at the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs part # TLF2022 for the front and the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs part # TLR3500 if you have an aftermarket hitch or part # TLF3008 if you have a factory hitch for the rear. As long as you do not have wheel to wheel running boards/nerf bars and or truck bed steps, then both of the above tie-down options will work well for you.

In order to secure your truck bed camper to the truck you will also need a set of compatible turnbuckles and for that I recommend the TorkLift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles part # TLS9529-2-LK if you do not already have any. I have also attached a review video of the above turnbuckles for you as well.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Answer 12

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
