When you’re hauling a camper for hundreds or thousands of miles, stability is everything. These frame-mounted tie-downs create solid attachment points for your camper by bolting directly to the truck’s frame. That means the camper’s weight is evenly distributed and the ride feels stable and predictable. Because the center of gravity sits lower, you avoid that top-heavy sway that makes long drives tiring. Even in strong winds or rough terrain, your camper stays put so you can focus on the road ahead.
These tie-downs attach using pre-existing holes in your truck’s frame, so there’s little to no drilling and no need to modify anything. The bolt-on design keeps installation simple and preserves your truck’s strength and clean look underneath. Once installed, the brackets tuck up tight to the frame for minimal loss of ground clearance—no dragging or snagging when you head off pavement.
Each component is built for serious use on the road and in harsh conditions. The removable arms are made from military-grade aluminum alloy, so they’re tough yet lightweight and completely rustproof. The receiver brackets use rugged stainless steel for added strength, and both parts are finished with a high-impact powder coat for extra protection against wear and salt exposure. That combination means years of reliable performance without corrosion weakening your setup.
When you’re not hauling a camper, you can pull the aluminum arms out of the stainless brackets in seconds. The brackets sit nearly flush with the underside of your truck, so they’re barely noticeable. You keep all the benefits of a heavy-duty system without giving up your truck’s clean appearance or clearance when driving unloaded.
Each tie-down arm has two pin holes so you can choose how far it extends from the body, giving space to clear fenders or sidewalls. Dual anchor holes let you line up the turnbuckles (sold separately) for the right angle and tension, holding your camper securely from multiple directions. This adjustability makes it easy to get a snug fit that keeps everything stable mile after mile.

Hello, neighbors. It's Brad here from etrailer, and I'm with Dan. And Dan recently had his new truck in. He got airbags installed. And you also have an in-bed camper, probably why you have the airbags. Yes.
And so you've towed with an in-bed camper before with a previous truck, correct Yep. I have a 1996 GMC diesel. And I've carried this all over the place, up through the Smoky Mountains, and had a really good time with it. Had a blast. I got a 2000 model Lance Camper, and it's put on a 2025 Chevy 3,500.
I needed to upgrade from a 2,500 to a 3,500. So this thing will carry around. So on your previous Dually that you had, you didn't have the TorkLift tie downs I did not. I had them mounted onto the bumper to tie down to, and also at the beginning of the bed. Now with this, it's all custom fit.
And you went with the aluminum versions, right Yes, I went with the aluminum, because the aluminum, they're pretty sturdy, and I didn't want the metal to rust if I ever take this thing out in the snow and salt and everything. Are there advantages to the TorkLift over kind of the old style that you had it hooked up When I take the TorkLifts out, I can put 'em away and you won't even see that they're attached to the truck. I like to tuck things farther away so I don't bang my leg. Yeah, and you can kind of go back, you can pull those out, and it goes back to that OEM clean look. You have no idea they're even there until you're ready to hook up.
Right. So anything that you would recommend for anyone that has an in bed camper Any, you know, tips, tricks, for in-bed camper driving that you have, you know, over your years I got the tie downs here. I did install these, put 'em in there. And I extended the rods by using all thread rods. Make sure you get the good all thread rods, 'cause some of 'em we inchesre kinda loose when you put 'em in there. And then, yeah. I mean, they are really, really handy. My '96, when I'm driving down the road, it would sway back and forth. And with the Silverado 3,500, I got the airbags in there and the wiring all set up. And it just doesn't move or nothing. It just runs right on down the road. And with the diesel 10 speed transmission, shoot, I just, it just goes. Brad Yeah. Dan It's like it's not even back there. Yeah, and with tying these down, you know, a lot of times people wonder how does it stay in place. And especially, you know, if you're going to kind of mountainous areas or whatever and you're getting ups and downs or hitting bumps, it does have that potential to move. But that's why you have turn buckles. You crank those down, it's gonna keep it all in place. But the big thing is, you know, having a good attachment point. So did you ever have clearance issues with your other one when you hooked it up As far as where the turn buckle's attached, did you have any issues making contact The only issue I would have is if I hooked it on here wrong. Like if I came from the other direction, or this way, I'd have to try to swing it over. Better to unhook the bottom before you unhook the top. Yeah. If you haven't looked at the TorkLift mounting points, these are great. They are custom fit to your vehicle. So it's crucial that you use our fit guide to get the proper trim and model of your truck. Because they're, you know, these aren't gonna work on a Ford. You'd have to get the Ford-specific. But that's what makes these great. They're perfectly set up, you know, as he was saying is once they're out, it goes back to a clean OEM look. They sit proper, they're designed for this, and TorkLift really covers all of the connecting parts to be able to get your in-bed camper to work with your truck. So Dan, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Great talking to you. You're welcome. Excited to get the brush guard on here and get you out on the road and enjoying it. I need to do some camping. (laughs) That's right, yeah. Hey, summer's coming. Have a good time. Thank you. Thank you very much, appreciate it.

I have made about six trips this year and the Torklift truck camper tie down system has worked great. It is the only truck camper unit I would recommend.

I wanted to touch base with you in regard to the Torklift tie downs. Have you heard back from Torklift? May I ask what type of hitch you have on the truck? What type of cab do you have? Is it an 8 foot bed? Do you have running boards that extend past the cab?
