Recommended Slide-In Truck Camper Tie Downs for 2022 Ram 3500 Long Bed with Step Extending Under Bed

Question:

What do you recommend for a Ram 2022 3500 long bed with full step that goes under the truck bed also? We do have a factory installed hitch. The camper on the truck extends a foot beyond the tailgate. Large camper on a large truck.

For your 2022 Ram 3500 8 foot bed with a step that extends from the cab under the truck bed, I recommend the HappiJac Truck-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs, # LC236326-205221. The HappiJac Direct-to-Frame design ensures proper distribution of your camper's weight. The I-beam stabilizing bar installs horizontally between the front brackets to help create a truss-like structure that spans the width of your bed, down to both corners of your bumper, where the rearmost tie-downs install. Holding the camper taut at these 4 corners - as opposed to along the sides of your bed, like you'd find with other tie-down systems, this helps to reduce any front-to-back shifting of your camper during travel.
