Get the safest and most comfortable ride while hauling your camper with tie-downs that mount on the frame of your pickup. Great for your truck's looks: remove the arms from the brackets and you'll hardly know that the brackets are there.
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.

Get the safest and most comfortable ride while hauling your camper with tie-downs that mount on the frame of your pickup. Great for your truck's looks: remove the arms from the brackets and you'll hardly know that the brackets are there.Unfortunately. This will be my last order with eTrailer. Far from having just minor finish imperfections, one of the brackets was poorly made, and required significant shop time in order to make it work. Very disappointing.
Torklift tie downs work great!
The Torklift frame mounted camper tie down so far seems to be a good fit, with one exception. I have full length round tube nerf running boards, that extend past the cab. I had to remove them to make room for the tie down bracket. I even purchased the bracket that allows clearance for running boards, but round tube type boards are a totally different deal. At the end of the day it isn’t a deal breaker, I’ll just purchase cab length running boards. I gave the review 4 stars instead of 5, because I think this is a detail Torklift should had accounted for. It is very likely if my boards were flat, the brackets would had cleared.
Great tie downs never had any problems keeping my truck camper secure. The instructions that came with them were not very good it took me several tries to get them oriented correctly. I wish they had clearer pictures in their instructions. The ones provided were blurry and not clear.
Bought both front and rear tie downs. Work great and easy to install.

You mentioned that they were not fitting as described and I have a few questions that I would like to ask. Can you confirm the year, make. model of your truck? Is it an 8 foot, 5.5 foot or 6-foot bed? Do you have running boards? If yes, do they extend pas the cab? Do you have a factory, aftermarket, or Torklift hitch?
