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.

Didn't realize this was sized for ONLY the HappiJac truck mounting hardware, not frame mounting hardware. Fortunately, I had appropriately sized bolts that worked with the sent equipment. Camper now secured to the truck!
by:
My parts were delivered quickly. The tiedowns are heavy duty.
by:
the site was easy to navigate in searching for the items i needed…the emails from etrailer kept me updated on the order process. the items arrived packaged securely and undamaged…a totally awesome experience for me…oh and it arrived earlier then originally predicted ??..thankyou Nathan
by:
Great fit and fast shipping.
by:
I’ve used HappiJac products for years. I’m replacing an older set of tie-downs with the stainless steel ones as I’ve noticed rust on the older set.
by:
The item was delivered missing parts and obviously used. Etrailer staff was so rude and unhelpful that I will never use this company again.
by:
Very goos quality and fast shipping
by:
Ive had this set of turnbuckles on my last camper. They work extremely well. Shipped really fast. I would buy them again if I needed them.
by:
Definitely heavy duty. Look to be an exact match for my truck. Directions are up front and look extensive.
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:
They were good little hard to put that driver side front on
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:
Quick delivery. Easy installation
by:
every aspect of the service was above and beyond. Thank you so much. I will definitely shop with you again. The item was received in one day when I wasn’t expecting it for five days thank you. Thank you.
by:
They work great for the 1 time that i used them.
A little tip though for other buyers, be sure to grease the threads before you use them. They are shipped dry.
by:
The tiedowns seem to work just fine. One of the rear long threaded rods arrived a little bent, but seems like it will work. But a little disappointed.
by:
Cant believe they shipped to me so fast!
Excelent service
by:
Etrailer is amazing ??%! Hapijack quality has gone down. Front turnbuckle on a relatively new hapijack would not tighten and broke while trying to. Spring popped out. This is my 3rd set. Maybe made for highway use and not off-road.
Sláinte
by:
This is an extremely well designed system to tie down Campers. Everything fits perfectly. I like the way the system virtually disappears from sight. The system can be easily installed by a person with moderate experience with tools.

My only complaint is that the directions need a complete rewriting. My copy was apparently a photocopy of an original, but some of the text was cut off. The photographic illustrations were copies of copies, and not of much use.

Having said that, this is a five star rating.
by:
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:
Just what i needed… should have started with these instead of the 3 others i tied that did not work
by:
They didn't fit. When asked on the order form about running boards, I answered they were cab length only. yours did not fit. I had to order directly from dealer. Yours are busy taking up shelf space
by:
They have worked fine and do the job! If you have the money to spend wet the quick release ones because they’re just easier!
by:
Arrived in good package with all components.
by:
They work great

  • 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...

  • Will HappiJac Turnbuckles Work With TorkLift Tie-Downs?
    Hi Clint, welcome back The HappiJac Original Turnbuckles for Camper Tie-Downs - Stainless Steel - Qty 4 # LC182898 are likely what you are looking for and will be a good in between option (they are actually pretty nice and should last a good long time). However, it should be noted that these are designed for use with the HappiJac style front tie-downs, which are much higher up than the TorkLift tie-downs (see how there are two shorter hooks in the included image).

    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 There Any Lock Options for HappiJac Turnbuckles
    HappiJac hasn't really developed a great solution for locking 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...

  • Do HappiJac Truck-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs LC236326-205221 Have Weight Capacity
    So there actually isn't any specific weight capacity for the HappiJac Truck-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # LC236326-205221. These are designed to handle the weight of any truck bed camper, and that's true of any camper tie-down, which is why there isn't a designated weight rating. If a camper can fit the bed of your Ram, the HappiJac tie-downs will safely hold it in place.

    The Brophy Stake Pocket Mounted Camper Tie Downs # TDSF are meant for campers only up to 8' so you wouldn't be able to safely tie down your 2019 Arctic Fox Model 865 Truckbed Camper. Instead I recommend the HappiJac Truck-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # LC182910-182971 with the HappiJac Original Turnbuckles for Camper Tie-Downs # LC182898.

Instead you would want the HappiJac Truck-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # LC184089 which fit the 6-1/2' bed.

  • 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.
