To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
These tie-downs mount directly to your truck’s frame and body instead of the bed rails to keep your setup balanced and stable. By distributing the camper’s weight evenly through the truck’s structure, the system prevents that top-heavy feel and limits movement in all directions. The front brackets bolt to the crossmember between the cab and bed, giving you a solid connection that stays tight even on long trips or rough roads.
The included centering guide locks use bumpers and rollers to help align your camper as you load it and keep it from shifting side to side while driving. For even greater rigidity, an I-beam stabilizing bar (sold separately) spans the width of your bed between the front tie-downs, forming a truss-like structure that resists flex and front-to-back motion. Together, these features make for a safer, steadier ride with less stress on your truck’s frame.
When you remove your camper, the setup nearly disappears. The front anchor plates stay tucked between the cab and bed with only small attachment points visible, while each rear anchor disconnects from its bracket with a simple quarter-turn. You get solid mounting strength when in use and a clean, unobtrusive look when you’re not hauling.
The HappiJac system uses heavy-duty steel components designed for years of dependable use. The front tie-downs are powder coated and the rear anchors are chrome plated to resist rust and corrosion. That finish helps them hold up through weather, road salt, and long-distance travel without weakening or seizing up over time.

Hello neighbors, Steve here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at our HappiJac truck mounted camper tie downs. That's right, folks. So you got that in-bed camper and you need to tie it down safely and securely, well, we got the option for you, or one option if you will. The tie downs here will provide attachment points at the front and rear of your vehicle's bed for securing a bed mounted camper. Now you will need some turn buckles, those are sold separately.
Then those will secure the camper to the tie downs themselves. Now this is gonna give you a nice, sturdy, low profile front bracket attachment to the cross number between the cab and the bed, or rather the sturdy low profile front brackets here attached to the cross member between the cab and the bed, securing the capper to the truck's body instead of the bed rails, which is going to better distribute the weight and keep the setup from being too top heavy. Now I'll throw an image up here of the screen of what this kit looks like when it's installed. Keep in mind this is going on the front bed of the vehicle up near the cab. Now we do recommend also purchasing a stabilizing bar that's sold separately.
That stabilizing bar will go inside of these brackets once they're installed on the back cab or up towards the back of the cab rather, in the bed of the truck. Now the rear brackets will install on the ends of the rear bumper and that gives you that attachment point for those. Now everything here folks, is included. There's a whole lot of hardware as you can see. You've got some hard ABS plastic parts.
Same thing with the side ones here, hard plastic. All the steel parts here are very, very durable. They've been powder coated. All the brackets, the front tie-downs, everything. They have this hammer looking finish as I call, like a hammer finish.
And it's like a gray-black mixture, but predominantly gray or gunmetal gray, maybe if that's the color you're used to. But they do have also a chrome plated rear anchor. Those two right here in the center. And those are gonna resist rust and corrosion. Well, all of it is, but having the chrome plates, gonna give it extra durability, and you can see the tie down anchor point here that those turn buckles that are sold separately would attach to and then lock in place. So again, you're gonna get two front anchor plates, two rear brackets and anchors, two bumper braces, all the installation hardware and brackets and everything you need for the install. Everything's made here in the US, has a nice one year warranty from the manufacturer. Again, folks, this is what it would look like when it's installed. Keep in mind it would be on the back of the cab area, in the bed of the truck. So again, folks, don't forget the stabilizer bar, the turn buckles. Again, you're gonna need those to complete the install. This is just the main kit. Pretty much it's gonna fit most trucks out there. I recommend using our fit guide here at etrailer.com just to ensure you're getting the right parts the first time. I'm Steven, thanks for watching and have a great day folks.
