These custom fit tie-downs give you the safest and most comfortable ride when hauling a camper. They mount to the frame of your pickup - no drilling required! With the arms removed, the brackets can barely be seen.
Features:
If you're looking for the best tie-downs for your camper, frame-mounted is the way to go. The frame is the most solid part of your entire vehicle, so it just makes sense to attach your camper to something that's not going to warp, bend, or twist. Even more importantly, the camper's center of gravity will sit lower and its weight will be spread across the entire bed. This avoids a top-heavy load perched on top of your bed rails that's liable to sway and get pushed around by crosswinds. The camper's not going to shift or slide around while you drive; it's going to stay put, and your truck is going to handle just like it does without a camper.
Quick Tip: If you have a plastic or spray-in bed liner, it's important that you use a rubber mat under the camper to eliminate any sliding or bouncing.
Frame-mounted tie-downs are also a great pick for preserving your truck's good looks. The brackets install on the frame, tucked nearly flush with the underside of the vehicle. Remove the arms from the brackets when you're not hauling your camper, and the brackets will be barely visible.
Completely custom to your vehicle, the tie-downs attach to exisiting holes in your frame so that there's little to no drilling and no need for any modifications. Because they're custom, you'll want to use our in-house application guide to make sure you get the exact right model. The tie-downs you need might be different depending on what type of hitch or other accessories you have.
Once the tie-downs are installed, use a set of turnbuckles (sold separately) to secure the camper to the tie-downs. The shank on each arm has 2 pin holes so you can choose how far out they extend, that way the turnbuckles can reach the anchors on your camper without making contact with your truck. Tighten the turnbuckles to the correct level of tension (not too tight!).
Make sure the anchor points are offset from the tie-downs instead of lined up with them so that they will hold your camper from multiple angles. This is important for keeping your camper from shifting. Two holes in the attachment plate of the tie-downs let you find the best angle for you camper anchors.

Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the TorkLift custom frame mounted camper tie-downs for the rear of the vehicle. This product fits many vehicles so to ensure that this is a fit for your vehicle, you can use the vehicle fit guide located at etrailer.com. These tie-downs provide attachment points at the rear of your truck bed for securing a bed mounted camper. Front tie-downs are sold separately and available at etrailer.com. The frame mounted design ensures excellent handling, so securing the camper to the truck's frame instead of its bed better distributes weight, which keeps the setup from being too top heavy.When they are not being used, the system is virtually undetectable. All you have to do when they're not being used is you can actually remove the arms and get them out of the way.
Now, I also want to point out that these arms have two pin holes in them so that way you can adjust it to whatever one fits best for your application. Once you have this setting achieved, you simply slide through the included pin and secure its clip on the other side. The tie-down inserts again can be easily removed from the frame mounted receiver brackets when they are not being used.The other thing I want to point out is that these brackets are custom fit for your vehicle. So these brackets are designed to fit tight to the truck frame. That way there's not a loss of ground clearance.
They're made from a nice, durable steel construction and they feature a black powder-coated finish on them, so they're going to do a great job at resisting rust and corrosion. It does come with your tie-down inserts, the custom frame brackets and the pins and clips. You will use your existing hardware on the vehicle frame. It also comes with a set of detailed installation instructions to help walk you through that whole process step-by-step. This product is made in the USA and covered with a lifetime warranty.That's going to do it for today's look at the TorkLift custom frame mounted camper tie-downs for the rear of the vehicle..
