HappiJac Original Turnbuckles

These HappiJac turnbuckles are recommended for use with HappiJac truck bed camper tie-downs (sold separately), but they can also be used with most other tie-down systems that accept J-hook-style turnbuckles. Unlike standard chain-style turnbuckles, HappiJac turnbuckles provide more stability and better control to prevent shifting of your camper during travel.


Simple, Manual Operation

To secure your camper in your truck bed, hook the threaded end of each turnbuckle onto an anchor point on your camper and then connect the non-threaded end to the tie-down anchor on your truck. Then simply hand-tighten each turnbuckle barrel for a secure connection.


Upgrade Anytime to Qwik-Load Operation

HappiJac Qwik Load Turnbuckle Handle

For faster operation, you can upgrade these standard turnbuckles with the HappiJac Qwik-Load system (LC182894). The Qwik-Load handles keep you from having to hand-tighten each turnbuckle, and they allow you to quickly and easily disconnect.

Installed it by myself in a couple hours. It would be easier to have someone help hold the brackets up between cab. But it looks great and easy to install.



by:

Been using HappiJac turnbuckles for years with out ever a problem..i know i can trust them to keep the camper in place in all type of conditions. Purchased a new camper and was tempted to go with the faster ones but its hard to go against what has been a proven product. It takes a little more time to install them but ive never heard of any wanting to steel them of the truck. F-350 w/ lance 1160..waiting for my new Northstar 850sc



by:

I don't like paying for new parts and getting used..
Evidently HappiJac repackaged a return product.
Not etrailer fault...

Hey Daniel! That doesn't sound good at all. I would be more than happy to get some replacements out to you. Just let me know and I'll get it taken care of for you.



by:

Installed Item #LC182910-182971 (FT-UT9 kit) on my 1992 Chevy Silverado K3500 Single-Wheels w/8' Bed. Arrived quickly with all needed parts and good installation guide. Install took leisurely 3 or 4 hours total; nothing hard to do. Mount attached below to chevy's frame "ears", the c-bolts came down directly adjacent to both frame ears for easy drilling and a solid install. Couldn't be happier to install something solid, while dumping my older ineffective stake-well mounts that were always a pain getting torqued, twisted and loose.



by:

Great camper tie down connection device. We let our trusted mechanic install it for a flawless result. This item is just the ticket for securing the load. In our case, we connected a restored vintage '95 Elkhorn 8' camper to an airbag-equipped 2011 Toyota Tundra. Drove from AZ to northwestern Montana and lived in it for 3 weeks. Great product, guys! (Tried multiple times to share photos, but site will not allow it!)



by:

Very good quality. No issue after 1 year in the weather. No pitting or rust on the bodies or threads.



by:

way over priced rip off



by:

FAST service and exactly what I wanted. Right price too. Thank!!!



by:

So far, so good. Got our Lance camper home with no problems.



by:

Great pricing and fast delivery!



by:

These parts are probably going to be great, but I won't know until a week from now cause I had to order the rest of the parts from a competitor because this website decides to play games to get my business.

Ordered something that said it was In stock, order gets placed, then it says it's waiting on stock? It was Instock when I placed this order, and now I have to wait for Saturday? I guess I can wait. Come Saturday and it's another month delayed. I could have had it delivered Saturday from a competitor when I originally placed my Instock order if this website hadn't lied to me.

I will not be spending more money here and will be very vocal that others should avoid this website too.



by:

Staff here are extremely helpful and willing to go out of their way to help you. 5 stars is not enough for them



by:

Great service and delivery was timely. Thanks



by:

Great quality great price



by:

Quality price and quality product. Very happy with overall shopping experience!



by:

I bought 4 HappiJac turnbuckles to hold my truck camper on the back of my truck. They work great. Thank you etrailer.com for recommending a good quality, resonable priced product for my needs.



by:

Very happy with the quality of these turnbuckles, I’ve used cheaper versions and they just don’t up like these ones do.



by:

These hold down work as designed and are easy to use. I especially like how the lock nut keeps them tight even over rough roads. I would recommend them to hold down any truck camper effectively.



by:

Nice simple design that functions well. I just got back from Ohio with my Camper and the tie-downs functioned perfectly at or maybe slightly above all posted speed limits. No problems.

I installed these with Torqlift anchors and used some chain and quick links form TSC.



by:

These were replacements for the originals from 2001. Nice quality and should provide good service for a long time. The front turnbuckles were still good, the rear ones had the rubber bushings inside deteriorate and needed replacing.



by:

Construction of product is good except for the fact that the threaded hooks and retainer nut are not SS and therefore will be susceptible to rust & deterioration.



by:

I’m a rancher and a picky one at that. Ordering seemed straight forward enough. The products arrived 2-4 days earlier than expected. The camper frame tie downs, 20 ton hitch, and all necessary hardware were in excellent condition and quality made products. Very nice.



by:

Great product for the Money very good tie downs



by:

After having a set for almost 20 years, I thought it was time (probably overdue) to replace them. The turnbuckles have always worked well for me.



by:

It appears the front turnbuckles are going to be short. I should be able to fix it by adding a couple locking links.

  • Can Brophy Stake Pocket Mounted Camper Tie-Downs Handle 3,000 lb Camper
    Hi Adam, The Brophy Stake Pocket Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # TDSF don't technically have a weight capacity, though the turnbuckles they need, the Brophy Basic Turnbuckles w/ Hardware for Camper Tie-Downs # TDHP, have a 3,000 lb weight capacity. So if the camper is 3,250 lbs you'd need to go with a different option like HappiJac tie-downs. If you let me know the year, make, model of your truck as well as things like bed size, what hitch you have, and if you have running boards I can find...

  • What Camper Tie-Downs do You Recommend for My 2016 Ram 2500 with Running Boards and Hitch?
    Thanks so much for reaching out to us for camper tie-downs. In order to determine the correct fit, can you confirm your bed length and cab style for me? Also, with your running boards, are they factory or aftermarket? Lastly, do you have a hitch installed on your truck?

  • Recommended Camper Tie-Downs for 1997 Ford F-350
    For your 1997 Ford F-350, it sounds like you are seeking the camper tie-downs for an in-bed camper. I recommend the HappiJac Truck-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # LC182910-182971 which will give you both the front and rear attachments confirmed to fit both long and short bed models of your specific truck. Then you can use the HappiJac Original Turnbuckles for Camper Tie-Downs - Stainless Steel - Qty 4 # LC182898 or the Quik-Load Turnbuckeles # LC182895.

  • How To Install the HappiJac Qwik-Load Upgrade Kit for Standard Turnbuckles
    The HappiJac Qwik-Load Upgrade Kit for Standard Turnbuckles part # LC182894 is an excellent upgrade option for the HappiJac Original Turnbuckles for Camper Tie-Downs part # LC182898. These are going to cut down dramatically on the time it takes to secure the tie-downs. In regards to installation, you can either cut the hooks off your existing tie-downs or you can just go pick up some 1/2" all-thread at a home improvement store which is very cost effective and readily available.

  • Are Just the Rear Turnbuckles for the HappiJac Original Turnbuckles Available
    Hey Luke, unfortunately the HappiJac Original Turnbuckles # LC182898 are not sold with just the 4 rear turnbuckles. You'd have to buy two of the Replacement Rear Turnbuckle for HappiJac Original Turnbuckle Set # LC182900.

  • Will Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs Work On a 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500 Dually
    I do have an option for you but the Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs aren't recommend for dually models per Brophy, they can sometimes work but we don't have fit details on exact year/make/models. The best option we could offer for a confirmed fit is the HappiJac Truck-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs part # LC350763-182971. These would then require the HappiJac Original Turnbuckles for Camper Tie-Downs part # LC182898.

  • Will Happijack Turnbuckles Work With TorkLift Tie-Downs
    Turnbuckles like theHappiJac Original # LC182898 are more or less universal so you'll be able to use them with the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # TLT2303.

  • Can Happy Jack Turnbuckles Fit TorkLift Tie-Downs On a 2023 Ram 2500?
    Because you are using the TorkLift Front # TLD2140 and Rear # TLD3113 frame mounted Tie-Downs you are going to want to use their Turnbuckles # TLS9529-2-LK. This is due to the length of them as the Happy Jack # LC182898 have shorter turnbuckles due to them using a bed mounted front anchor. The TorkLift Turnbuckles # TLS9529-2-LK come with locks as well to protect your investment.

  • Camper Tie Downs for a 2016 Toyota Tundra SR5
    We do have something for you. But if when you say standard, you mean the 6-1/2' bed then the answer is no the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # TLT2307 and # TLR3500 are not what you would want because they only fit the 5-1/2' bed. Instead you would want the HappiJac Truck-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # LC184089 which fit the 6-1/2' bed. You would also need the HappiJac Original Turnbuckles for Camper Tie-Downs # LC182898 or the HappiJac Qwik-Load Turnbuckles for Camper Tie-Downs...

  • Determining The Correct Turnbuckles To Connect To HappiJac Camper Tie-Downs
    Since the bracket is going to sit lower you'll want to measure from the bracket of the # LC184089 up to the mounting point on the camper to determine the exact size needed. For example, the front turnbuckles of the HappiJac Original Turnbuckles for Camper Tie-Downs # LC182898 have a 16-1/2" minimum reach and 23-1/2" maximum reach. There are other options with a longer reach if you're needing more than 23-1/2" so let me know what you have and I'd be happy to find the right fit.

  • Camper Tie-Downs for 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 6.5 Bed with Steps and Factory Hitch
    The TorkLift options for your truck are the # TLC2220 for the front and # TLC3215 as long as your steps do not run under the bed. If they end at the cab, then these will work. If they do run under the bed, then instead you will want the HappiJac Custom Tie-Downs for Truck Bed Camper # LC350763-182971. This manufacturer is owned by Lippert Components who makes a majority of factory RV parts. You may also want the turnbuckles # LC182898 or the Qwik-Load Turnbuckles # LC182895.

  • How Many Turnbuckles Come with the Replacement Front Turnbuckle for HappiJac Original Turnbuckle Set
    The Replacement Front Turnbuckle for HappiJac Original Turnbuckle part # LC182901 is for a single front turnbuckle. If you need a single rear turnbuckle then you'll use the Replacement Rear Turnbuckle for HappiJac Original Turnbuckle part # LC182900 or the HappiJac Original Turnbuckles for Camper Tie-Downs part # LC182898 if you need all four aka a full set.

You can also obtain four of the Replacement Rear Turnbuckle for HappiJac Original Turnbuckle Set part # LC182900.

  • Are There Any Lock Options for HappiJac Turnbuckles
    HappiJac hasn't really developed a great solution for licking their turnbuckles yet. There are some options, but it also depends on what HappiJac turnbuckles that you have. If you have the HappiJac Qwik-Load Turnbuckles # LC182895, you would just need to locate a lock that fits in the hole, in place of the pin that goes through the handle. The Pin Locks for TorkLift # TLS9500 may work. They are 1/4" in diameter and the length of the shaft when locked is 1-1/4". As long as the hole in...

That being said, as long a your tie-downs fall between the listed ranges for the # LC182898 turnbuckles they should work just fine.
