Can I Use D-Ring with Mounting Plate to Anchor a Truck Bed Camper
Question:
Would this be adequate to use as a truck camper anchor point? I just built a 2000 truck camper and I need to attach 4 anchor points on the camper To ba able to then tie down the camper to the truck. They seem strong enough.

I can't advise you to use something like the # DR1S to anchor a truck bed camper in this case, but I do have a solution for you. While they may seem strong enough, they're not designed for this use and the stresses put on by a truck bed camper.
The best way to anchor a truck bed camper on your 2015 Ram 3500 is to use proper truck bed camper anchor points like the # TLD2130 and # TLD3109, which are designed to fit the 6-1/2 Foot Bed - Single Rear Wheels - without board or step underneath truck bed and with a factory installed hitch models of the Ram 3500.
I have linked our entire selection of tie down anchors for the Ram 3500, so you'll want to select the correct fitting anchors based off of the criteria in the drop down menu.
