Custom-fit camper tie-downs permanently mount to your truck's body to distribute the weight of your camper and limit movement in all directions. Low-profile attachment points are discrete and rear anchors remove for a clean look.
Features:
The HappiJac Direct-to-Frame design ensures proper distribution of your camper's weight and helps prevent your camper from moving in all directions for a safe and secure ride. The front tie-down brackets attach to your truck bed's frame, between the bed and the cab, allowing the tie-downs to become integral parts of your truck. Already, this sets them apart from stake-pocket-mounted tie-downs, which secure the entire load of your camper to the tops of your bed rails, forming a top-heavy setup that can create an uncomfortable and unnatural ride.
An I-beam stabilizing bar (sold separately) installs horizontally between the front brackets to help create a truss-like structure that spans the width of your bed, down to both corners of your bumper, where the rearmost tie-downs install. Holding the camper taut at these 4 corners - as opposed to along the sides of your bed, like you'd find with other tie-down systems - helps to reduce any front-to-back shifting of your camper during travel.
In addition to the Direct-to-Frame design, the included centering guide lock assemblies further help to prevent shifting. Each assembly includes a bumper pad and roller, and they attach to each front tie-down bracket.
Attach the assembly to the bracket so that the roller runs along the side of your camper to help guide the camper into place while you're mounting it. Because the centering guide lock assemblies are positioned at the sides of your camper, they too will help hold your camper in place by inhibiting side-to-side movement.
When you're not hauling your camper, you don't have to worry about bulky brackets sticking out of your truck, creating an eyesore or hazard. The front anchor plates remain permanently installed between your cab and truck bed, leaving only the discrete anchor points just behind your cab visible.
The rear tie-downs attach to the corners of your rear bumper. And with a quick quarter-turn, each rear anchor removes from the bracket to create a clean look.
HappiJac components are constructed of sturdy steel for a reliable and stable ride. The powder coated front tie-downs and chrome-plated rear anchors both resist rust and corrosion.

Hello neighbors, Steve here with etrailer.com. Folks, today, we're looking together our HappiJac Truck-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs. Now, folks, when these are installed, they're gonna provide an attachment point at the front and the rear of your vehicle's bed for then securing a bed-mounted camper. Now the image on the screen will give you an idea of what it would look like in the bed of the vehicle. There is drilling required into the back front bed of the pickup truck, and on the far right image, those are a close up of the turn of the attachments that would get, put onto the bumper at the back of the truck. Now you will need turn buckles that are sold separately to secure your camper to those tie-downs and to these tie-down points here that would be at the front of the truck, and those are sold separately along with a stabilizing bar that you saw in that picture that goes the full length of the front of the bed to reduce stress on the truck's frame.
Now that stabilizing bar is not necessarily required, although it is highly, highly recommended by the manufacturer, and that's gonna help reduce stress on your truck's frame. Now the centering guide will lock and prevent the camper from shifting side to side, and the rear brackets will simply install on the ends of the rear bumper for an attachment point, tie-down point. I'll zoom in here and give you a little closer look at that. And some of the hardware here, there's lots of hardware included with the kit and the instructions that are included. It's really just a one page set of instructions that look like, not too much in depth, it's just a lot of little parts on bracketry and stuff, and you've got some hard plastic parts here that come with it for the install.
You've got these two long angled bracket arms. Everything here is a nice heavy duty steel. It's been black powder coated that's gonna resist rust, corrosion. It's made here in America with a nice one-year warranty. And again, you're gonna get the two front anchor plates, the two rear brackets, an anchor, and all the necessary hardware and bumper braces as well.
Now folks, all the end parts, like I said, are black powder coated and the tie-downs at the back of the vehicle, they are chrome-plated. (metal thuds) Folks, that's kinda wrap it up for our look today, again at the HappiJac Truck-Mounted Camper Tie-Down set. I'm Steven, thanks so much for watching and stay safe.

Custom-fit camper tie-downs permanently mount to your truck's body to distribute the weight of your camper and limit movement in all directions. Low-profile attachment points are discrete and rear anchors remove for a clean look.Super fast delivery. Only reason I didn't give it a five star was that the bumper brace did not fit all that great and I ended up having to drill the bumper to make it work.
