Does The Tailgate Need To Be Closed When Hauling A Truck Bed Camper To Prevent Bedrail Warping
Question:
Will I need to have the tailgate closed when a camper is secured so the truck bed sides don’t become distorted?

Expert Reply:
No, the tailgate is typically removed when using a truck bed camper due their size. You will however need some turnbuckles to go along with the Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs # HSAB you were looking at. The Brophy Basic Turnbuckles w/ Hardware for Camper Tie-Downs # TDHP would be the correct tie downs for this application.
