Features to know about
Install Without Drilling: Clamp-On Bed Mounts
These tie-downs clamp right onto your truck’s bed rails—no drilling, cutting, or frame modifications needed. Each bracket slides over the rail and locks in place with extra-long T-bars and hex bolts. Because they mount in the bed instead of the frame, you can install or remove them in minutes with simple hand tools. When you’re done hauling, just unclamp them and your truck looks like nothing was ever installed.
Protect Your Truck’s Finish: Neoprene Padding at Every Contact Point
Scratching up your paint is the last thing you want after a new install. Each tie-down includes twelve neoprene pads that sit between the steel brackets, T-bars, and your bed rails. These pads cushion every contact point so you get a secure hold without leaving dents or scuffs behind. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference if you care about keeping your truck clean and intact.
Built to Handle the Elements: Zinc-Plated Steel Construction
When you’re hauling a camper, rust can turn into a real headache fast. These tie-downs are built from heavy-duty steel and plated with zinc for superior corrosion resistance. The finish stands up well to moisture, road salt, and rough weather so you can keep hitting the road season after season without worrying about weakening or flaking metal.
Secure Your Camper: Strong Hold for Lightweight Rigs
Each tie-down creates a dependable anchor point for fastening your camper solidly to the bed. The wide clamps deliver strong holding power, keeping your setup steady on rough roads or long hauls. Just add a hardware package with turnbuckles, S-hooks, and chains (sold separately), tighten them to the right tension, and your camper stays put mile after mile.

I took the Brophys off, they pulled off the aluminum lip that it ties to. These are totally unsafe for aluminum beds. I had these on my 2016 ford truck and they worked great, it was a metal bed. I cant sell these brackets in good faith to anyone else

@Ted I'm really sorry you had that experience. For aluminum beds, Brophy has said that there needs to be two inches of clearance under the lip of the bedside for these to install safely. If there's not enough clearance, we recommend going with frame mounted tie downs instead.

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. 1712106
Purchased the Brophy camper tie down set of four for the Palomino truck camper I just purchased. These are my second set as the first set were sold with my Hallmark camper. Easy to install and hold the camper in the truck with no worries. 644272
No problems. Would buy again. Very easy to take on and off the truck.

These tie-downs worked awesome for our pop up camper on our 1998 F150. Super snug, haven't loosened up or moved on the truck, camper hasn't budged either. I was leary at first not having the camper tied to the frame but now I have total faith in these tie downs. 959229
These Brophy tie downs have worked great over the past year. I leave the camper on the truck and it is my daily driver as well as RV. The camper weighs in at 1500 dry and about 2000 loaded. I do not do any radical 4x4 but I have taken some backwoods off road logging trails. 802232

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. 1539788
Very well constructed and heavy duty. Liked the idea of no drilling during install. Excellent fit and provided stability safety for upcoming family camping trips with our truck & camper. Would recommend these tie downs for anyone who owned a truck camper set up! 865566
As far as I'm concerned these are junk. Wasted my money. Do not mount in proper location on a 2011 Chevy Silverado 6.5' Bed. Because of the design of the bed rail the mounts cannot be installed in the proper locations for securing camper. The photos show the maximum forward and back that these can be mounted. Not at all made for the 6.5 foot bed 2007 or later Siverado. The Black Powder Coated Steel isn't that great either. Paint missing, dinged up from storage and shipping probably. 267547
These camper hold-downs appear to be manufactured from good steel stock and should do the job nicely. I did have one piece that was slightly damaged but was not caught when packaged (the damage was not due to shipping). I was able to take a hammer to the bent steel and straighten it sufficiently to use the part. It was a little disappointing however, and should have been caught prior to shipping.
Overall I am pleased with the quality and price 185119
I bought these for our brand new 2019 GMC Sierra 1/2 ton because no custom options were available. I was happy that they were easy to install, and look great. I’ve used them in the past and have been happy with how they hold campers. Sure I’d rather have custom mounts from the frame, but for the price and because these are my only option that’s what I got. These will work just fine, and I like that I can swap these out on trucks.
The one thing I wish was different was that the threaded T handle portion would have a longer option. I had to fancy up a 2”x6” to run inside the side of my p/u bed so they would touch something.
As always another great shopping experience with etrailer. They haven’t let me down yet. Especially Lori, what a great customer service rep. 682589
These tie downs work great. It holds my 3k lb Cabover camper in place without issues. And I live in my camper, so not losing my home is very important to me!! 1685142
Using on 2013 Ford F150 for a smaller cabover. Great quality product, shipped fast, works great. Had to turn bolts around to clear inside of bed. Held camper solidly over rough trails! 662431
Still have not moved! Great design and cost savings.

Easy to install and have done what’s expected. Keep the camper in place!! 803007
on the 8 3/8" bolts. Sold at Menards for 89 cents (pkg of 8) not in kit. Placement was a little restrictive with dealer installed bed liner. Takes 30 minutes to install all 4. Great buy. 59359
Timely delivery and the packaging was in great shape. Exactly what I ordered at a good price, and was a confirmed fit on the E-trailer site. Will use E-trailer again. 3461008

These tie downs were a great budget solution in leu of a permanent installation of my camper shell and/or frame mounted tie downs. Aside from needing to plan their placement (they can hang in front of the gas cap if you don't plan it right the first time around... no, I didn't accidentally block my gas cap... maybe I did) and take into consideration they also need a little bit of internal clearance as well, they work just fine. I haven't noticed any cargo shifting nor warping of the truck bed around where they are installed. My camper shell is under 1K lbs and it holds just fine. 653749

I took the Brophys off, they pulled off the aluminum lip that it ties to. These are totally unsafe for aluminum beds. I had these on my 2016 ford truck and they worked great, it was a metal bed. I cant sell these brackets in good faith to anyone else
