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.

Torklift tie downs are very well made, tried he bumper attached one but I guess bumpers aren't what they used to be I saw bending at the tie down after one trip. So bought these. Entrailer as usual priced well and fast shipping.
Tommy C recommended the TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs. The Instructions are great and very easy to follow. They supply some cool wire helpers to hold bolts in the frame for you. All went very smoothly and a very secure. I love how solid the Camper feels on the truck.
I like to thank Lori with etrailer and guiding me through the process of getting , Front and rear,
Torklift Camper Tie-downs -Custom Frame Mounts. Well doing research this was the best way to go for tying down and stabilizing a camper. Torklift camper tie-downs are solid well built!
I had ordered Mounts on Monday and received them on Friday . I Had the tie-downs on my , 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 by Saturday. The whole process was awesome , real easy installation. Great help with videos and instructions on mounting tie-downs on my truck provided by etrailer. I’m going to use them on my pop-up Hallmark Camper. Thank you for all your help etrailer.
I bought the TLC2220 for a low profile pop up cabover camper which I had for another Chevy 3/4 ton truck. The prior truck utilized a different attachment but was not available for my current 2012 Chevy truck. The TLC220 offers an excellent attachment point that is made out of thick well made steel and covered with a nice black powder coating. The instructions that came with the product should be thrown away. Pictures are poor, verbiage is incomplete and large gaps in the actual application. The saving grace is the video from etrailer. This is a great video. Complete, simple with no gaps and tells you exactly what the difficulties might be. This video even called out the socket sizes. Unfortunately the mate to this; the TLC 3212 rear mounts has a poor video with again gaps in application. And... again the TLC3212 written instructions is just fireplace starter material.
No complaints they work as they should. Watch if your have aftermarket exhaust. Make sure you have clearance.
Nice bullet proof set up little tricky to hook up but solid set up
A little on the pricey side but they are heavy duty and well built. They work great and still look new after the first year.
Well made! Heavier material than I even expected. I'm amazed at how well designed they are, and how well they fit.
The camper tie downs do not fit my vehicle and they won’t honor free shipping back to them. Customer service isn’t good and they apparently do not have ones to fit my vehicle.
The holes did not line up going to have to have machine shop modify holes.$[XX] dollar expense.
etrailer.com is the best. Great products and great customer service. I purchased these TorkLift custom frame mounted camper tie downs to be installed on my 2017 Chevrolet 3500 HD Duramax single axle short bed. Installation was easy using the great videos provided by etrailer.com.
Great customer service and products
These tie downs, as well as the TLC3215 set, were easy to install if you have some mechanical ability. They function well with our Lance truck camper and become unobtrusive when you remove the tie down extensions. It's too early to comment on corrosion resistance, but my hope is they hold up well.
Great people and easy to work with great company
Very good product quality with outstanding customer service. Fairly easy to install. Fishing the wire through the frame was a challenge but I used a magnet to capture the wire end to finish the fish through.
I bought the TLC3212 for a pop up cabover camper. This is a strong well made steel mount that will outlast the truck. Total installation time for this was 15 minutes so its easy. That being said the written instructions are worthless and before you read them just put it in the fireplace kidling box. The video, unlike the TLC2220, is poor with many opportunities for remaking. Fortunately the mount is simple so most that can turn a wrench will figure it out. Note to the manufacture, please replace the long 2' bolt with a shorter one so you can get it into the leaf spring box.
I took a long time in writing this review as I wanted to be able to test the product fully. In installing the Tie-Downs, the instructions are pretty vague when it comes to fishing the one bolt through the frame. What is not mentioned is that the position of the large washer that is on the bolt while having to be fitted through the hole makes the difference of getting the bolt through the hole or not. One reviewer said that he had to widen the hole in order to get the bolt through, I too had widened the hole a little, until I realized that it was the washer that was keeping the bolt from going through. The washer needs to be at a 45 degree angle allowing the bolt to be able to gain the extra room against the top of the frame to properly go through the hole. I know this does not sound clear, but what I say will make sense when you are under the truck fishing the bolt through the frame.
That said, after mounting, the Tie-Downs were very secure and all parts looked great. I was worried that the rear passenger side Tie-Down would hit the wide diesel exhaust. It fit perfectly in the space between the exhaust pipe and the frame with no modifications needed, great design and engineering. The Tie-Downs hold my truck camper great, secure and steady. Great product.
The bed mat fit perfectly as well. Exactly what is needed for the truck camper.
These tire downs have held through rough terrain and an accident where the camper was hit from behind. Easy to use for fast on and off of the camper.
I ordered these upon recommendation from a friend. Upon receipt I got three estimates and went to a local body shop. When the owner reviewed the installation booklets, he was impressed by the detailed and thorough explanation and pictures by TorkLift. I do not suggest that one person install these, but it seemed easier with two people. I love that the tie downs can be partially removed during non-use to avoid catching on obstructions to the side of the vehicle. Also, the booklet gave a phone number for technical support in case the installer confronts any problems. The salesperson who helped me at etrailer was very helpful and made sure I ordered the correct items to fit my truck. I have always had good results with etrailer.
TorkLift front anchor design requires fussy installation I could design a more elegant anchor, and have done so for a previous truck; These did not have complete powder coat protection inside the tubes, requiring painting inside tubes to ward off corrosion from inevitable road salt.
Once installed these proved secure and strong, and are superior to HappyJac truck box anchors.
Product went on easily, but not heavy enough for the Lance 1181 installed on my truck. Even the spring loaded connectors bent the brackets and had to have both front and rear strengthened while traveling in the Yukon.
I installed the front tie-downs without any problem, except the factory bed bolts are to short, about 2-3 threads, I know this because if you torque bolts to 50ft. lbs. you will strip the threads in the nut, I had to tap out nut and go to the next size, on one side only, got longer bolt for other side. Other than that, the instructions are very good and made installing easy.
Well made. Salesman provided great insight into the why these are so highly rated. Construction is exceptional. Directions on installation are easy, but watch the video first. Support team is excellent. Would I buy this again & recommend these..absolutely. Now that I own these, i'm always looking at other "rigs" & it's apparent the "word is out" on these. I haven't bought the back tie downs yet...but that's coming!
I’ve owned several truck campers and always use these tue downs. They are the best. Fit is always excellent
These rear tie downs work fairly good - some issue with the bolt next to the frame, not enough room for washer and nut. will have to keep a eye on it to see if it works loose.
