Question:
I have a 1996 Shadow Cruiser pop-up truck camper that I would like to safely attach to my 2006 GMC Sierra. The unloaded camper weighs in at 1,000 pounds. Is this product suitable for this application?

Expert Reply:
The Erickson anchors, # EM4001, do fit most Chevy and GM trucks. Just take a look at the measurements pn the product page and compare them to your truck to determine fit.
These anchors are not the best solution for securing a camper. They are designed more to secure cargo in the truck bed. A better solution is the Brophy camper tie downs, # HSSF with hardware package # TDHP. these parts were designed to secure a camper in a truck bed. They will fit as long as you do not have a stepside bed, a double-wall bed, or a dually. I have included a picture that shows how these work/install.
