Brophy Slide In Camper Tie-Downs - No Drill Bed Mount - Qty 4
I used these to mount a vintage 1970 Avion C-11 to a 1993 D250. They worked great and were much stronger than I expected - and it was a huge cost savings (and a much more attractive look) than some of the frame mounted options of more than $1000. There were some oddities that I noticed. It was impossible to mount them exactly the way the instructions suggested because of where on the wings near the cab,. The brackets also could not stay on with the camper unloaded because they would hit the jack mounts, meaning they had to me bolted in after the camper was in the truck but before lowering the jacks, making the access to the bolts a frustrating 'feel for it' experience.I'f suggest the manufacturer secure the bolt so that you don't need to hold both sides when tightening/loosening, and also refine it to need less turns to do so. It took me 2 hours to mount the first time, and not much less when removing them with the limited access. The pads also came off in the first use. I gave it a 5 star because I realize there are limited options for older campers and anything universal is going to have issues with some thing - so that's just my input and experience. Overall pretty reasonable for the price and functionality.
The product was shipped extremely quickly, it arrived 3 days after I ordered them. As far as the product goes I was extremely pleased that they were as easy to install as the product video showed them to be. I had been looking for a tie down system that would work for my 2018 Ford since I purchased my camper in 2020 and after much research I found these at etrailer. One word of advice is that if your camper has a shower or other design that allows the camper to extend across the bed behind the wheel wells, either move the rear tie downs forward or shorten the leveling stud before you attempt to load your camper. On mine it turned out that once the tie downs were placed and attached I had to cut off about 3 inches of the threads. Other than that it was an easy install although the bolts that attach the tie downs to the under lip clamp are a challenge to install but take your time and they will go on. I will post an update once I have been on the road for a few trip and see how they are working. Thank you etrailer for your super fast shipping and online product videos.

Brophy Stake Pocket Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Bed Mount - Qty 4
Used these on my 2012 Tundra Crew max Had to put in more effort in the installation then the instruction tell or show. for example the truck pockets where these slide into I had too cut the plastic that was covering the holes, I removed the tail light on one side to get the top bolt screwed in. I had to remove the gas cap and plastic to secure the top bold. I also added bigger washers cause there are existing hole that hold the factory plastic so the nut couldn't slide out and away. Other then that these mount work great
Not compatible with 99 Ford F-150, even though the description said it was. Stake pockets are double walled on this truck. Bolts too short. Very frustrating.

Brophy Slide In Camper Tie-Downs - Extra Clearance - No Drill Bed Mount - Qty 4
Easy to put on they work perfectly very solid I have a 20-22 palomino SS 1251 truck camper Badland Edition doing a great job thank you a bunch
The Brophy tie-downs work just as advertised. I am a recreational user of my camper - not full-time or long trips, and have had no issues with them. The only challenge is backing my truck under the camper with the brackets mounted - like threading a needle, because the leg stands barely clear the brackets. I have a 2-16 F-250 and a Northstar 650 and their is not enough clearance in the bed to add the brackets after the camper is in position. Again, this is not a problem with the brackets, its a camper leg/stand and bed width issue.

At the moment I have yet to install the tie-downs. However they arrives when etrailer stated and the boxes were in excellent condition. I expect to use them this weekend to pick up my new to me slide in truck camper.
Delivery came early and the box had all the parts . I still have to install the tie downs but seem pretty straightforward process
