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.

Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at this Torklift Talon custom front camper tie-down. This is going to provide the attachment points at the front of your truck bed to help secure your truck bed camper's turnbuckle. It'll just fit into these slots here to give you that tie-down point, so that you can make sure that your camper is gonna be nice and steady. Now, this is just the front two tie-downs.
You will also need the rear tie-downs. Those are sold separately, but you can find 'em here at etrailer.com. Now, these are going to be a custom fit for your 2019 and 2020 Ram 2500, either the 6 1/2-foot bed option or the crew cab with the 8-foot bed. These will also work with the 2019 and newer Ram 3500. All models will need a factory-installed hitch, isn't guaranteed to work with your aftermarket hitches.
Likewise, it may not work with some of your aftermarket boards or steps, so for that 3500, you will need the factory electric board under the cab or without a board or step for that 3500. These are a frame-mounted bracket, so they are gonna fit right to your truck frame. You're not gonna lose any ground clearance. And it being mounted to the truck's frame is going to ensure excellent handling for you. It securing to the base instead of up on the bed is going to help better distribute the weight of your camper to help keep the whole setup from being too top-heavy.
It's gonna make it a lot more secure and stable for you. They do include very detailed instructions to walk you through the installation process. You can see you've got images there to help you conceptualize and make sure that you're putting everything in the right place. So very detailed instructions make it very easy to get this installed. And of course, all of your hardware is included as well.
So we do have the rustproof and very lightweight aluminum alloy tie-down inserts that secure to your durable stainless steel receiver brackets. These just slide right in place there. So you can see, we've got two different holes that the pins will go through. So if your camper is a little bit wider, you'd use this first hole here to have that tie-down point stick out a little bit farther. If your camper is a little narrower, you can slide it in to that inner hole there. I mean, we'll just use the included pins, slide that through. That's going to secure it in place, give you that nice sturdy connection point there for your turnbuckles. And when you're not using your truck camper, you can just pull that pin out, remove that tie down insert, and then you've got a cap here that you can put over that opening. And these are going to be so close to your frame that you're really not gonna be able to see them. They're gonna be very discreet, so it's not gonna take away from the look of your truck at all. So unlike some of your other tie-down options that are always there, kind of an eyesore, these are gonna be really nice in that you can just pull that out. These are very easy to store under bench seat or in your camper, not gonna be too heavy or bulky, be very easy to store away. And then, this is gonna be a nice, finished look there on your truck's frame, so you're really not gonna see it whatsoever. Just pull that cap off, slide your tie-down attachment and put that pin in and you'll be ready to put or hook up your camper. So really nice option here. I really like this Torklift Talon system. It is made here in the USA, so you can trust it's made to the high-quality standards that we've come to know and trust for products that are made here in the US. It also comes with a lifetime warranty, so if you we're to have any problems with it, you're more than welcome to reach out to us here at etrailer.com. We're always happy to work with our customers to make sure you're getting good quality products and having a good experience. So in my mind, this is kind of the premium option for your truck camper tie-downs. Again, this is vehicle specific, so make sure that you're getting the right ones for you. But this is the way to go in my mind, just being able to remove those, give you that factory look on your truck again. This is gonna be a great system. So that's gonna complete our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..
