Hardware Needed to Mount a Camper in the Bed of a 2002 Ford F-150

Question:

I have a F150 2002 4x4 super crew 5.4 with tow pkg. I have a full size camper to mount. Do you have a kit for that?

To mount your camper in the bed of your 2002 Ford F-150, you can use the Brophy Camper Tie Downs, # TDSF, as long as your camper is not longer than 8 ft. These tie downs will install in the stake pockets on the top of your truck bed walls.

If your camper is longer than 8 ft, then I recommend using the Brophy Camper Hold Downs, # HSSF. These hold downs will not install in your stake pockets, but clamp around the inside lip of the bed rail (see photo). The underside of the bed rail must be exposed to install these clamps. If you have a bed liner that blocks the underside of the bed rail, then holes would have to be cut in the bed liner to install these hold downs.

Along with these tie downs, I recommend using the Brophy Tie Down Hardware Package, # TDHP. This package includes turn buckles, hooks and chains and has a weight capacity of 3,000 lbs.

I have attached the installation instructions for both tie down kits and the hardware package for you to check out.
