These bed-mounted tie-downs clamp right onto your truck’s bed rails — no drilling, cutting, or modification needed. The steel brackets slide over the bed rails and tighten in place with the included T-bars and hex bolts, giving you a strong, secure anchor point for your camper in just minutes. When it’s time to unload, they come off just as easily, leaving your truck completely clean with no trace left behind.
Each bracket comes with 12 neoprene pads that sit anywhere the tie-downs touch your truck. These pads keep your paint safe from scratches or dents while still letting you clamp down tight. It’s a small touch that makes a big difference for trucks that see both work and weekend duty.
Built from black powder coated steel, these tie-downs are tough enough to handle the road and weather without rusting or weakening. The wide clamps spread out the load for better holding strength while resisting corrosion and wear over time. That means reliable performance season after season.
The set includes four tie-downs with clamp plates and installation hardware so you can set up both front and rear corners of your camper. Once installed, connect your camper using Brophy’s compatible turnbuckle hardware kit (sold separately) to lock everything down tight for travel.
The brackets fit most full-size pickups as long as there’s at least 2" of space between the sidewall and the lip of the bed rail, and the rail width doesn’t exceed 5-1/2". They’re not compatible with drop-in liners, plastic bed rails, double-walled beds, or side-step beds — but where they fit, they install securely and stay put mile after mile.

Its a good product for a light camper. I personally would not use it on anything heavier than 1000lbs. But then iam not an engineer. I sold mine and my camper and bought frame mounted tie downs
Ashley E. was a great help. Answered my questions and confirmed my shipping.
I'll be back. :-)

I decided to return the tie downs. They didnt fit my 2012 Silverado well with the camper. They also began to bend my truck bed. Well made product but not right for my needs.
I received your hssf camper mounts and installed them. no problems installing them at all. i have a 93 ford f 250 with a 8' cab over camper. i have to admit my dad had these mounts on his pickup, so i knew these mounts were the ones i wanted. doug b

I am still enjoying them. they make putting the camper on, and off real easy. and better yet they look good going down the road!
Ordered these for my new truck to hold my popup camper. As I haven't put them on yet because it's still winter, end of march it will be prepared to be put on. What I will say about customer service is there is nothing like it. Sent me emails updating everything and tracking. I did take a look at them and they look very heavy duty. I look forward to putting them on and gettin out to camping! I'll provide pictures once I get the chance of putting them on.

Working out great as expected.
These wont work for my truck and camper. The box on a 2018 gmc 2500 short bed does not lend well to placement of these in order to get the correct geometry i needed for the tie-down points on my Palomino maverick 6601. I had high hopews of not having to buy the frame mounts, but i will have to.

In response to the etrailer comment response, they fit on the bed fine, with plenty of clearance and would work for a smaller camper. they just did not fit in the right spots for my truckcamper combo.
Order arrived quickly, priced ok. Box was broken open by shipper NS the 4 T-bolsts bolts ere missing. Etrailer shipped ou the missing parts a few days later, but in the meantime I fashioned t-bolts I could use for my trip. Many customer comments on this camper Brophy tie-down match my experience. Etrailer follow up was great, but surely must be aware that their packing is sub-standard. Perhaps zip-tying the T-bolts to larger pieces would eliminate the loss even in case of breakage. Functionally the tie-dows were easy to install and seem quite adequate for off-road use of my in-bed camper. Will continue to use etrailer because of their excellent customer service.

The minor inconvenience of installing and removing these Brophy mounts for each trip offsets the high cost of a permanent frame mounted system. For the relatively few times a year I use my 11 slide-in, these tie downs are more than adequate to secure the camper.
These tie downs were a great budget solution in leu of a permanent installation of my camper shell and/or frame mounted tie downs. Aside from needing to plan their placement (they can hang in front of the gas cap if you don't plan it right the first time around... no, I didn't accidentally block my gas cap... maybe I did) and take into consideration they also need a little bit of internal clearance as well, they work just fine. I haven't noticed any cargo shifting nor warping of the truck bed around where they are installed. My camper shell is under 1K lbs and it holds just fine.

A year later & they still hold strong.
Product did not come with the neoprene protective adhesive strips so I had to go to the hardware store and buy some. The notch where the bolt runs thru the tie down had excessive weld and did not allow the bolt to sit flush. All in all its an ok product. It's not going to win any best looking tie down award but it will do the job. I live 15 miles from town so getting neoprene protective strips was a pain.
ORDER ON TUESDAY RECIEVED ON FRIDAY NOON SAME WEEK ONLY PROBLEM WAS 4 7/ 16 NUT WERE 4 1/2 NUT HAD TO BUY 4 NUTS OTHER THEN THAT I WOULD BUY OFF ETRAILER AGAIN VERY GOOD SERVICE
Easy to install and have done what’s expected. Keep the camper in place!!
Found easy to install, I placed lock washers on the 8 3/8" bolts. Sold at Menards for 89 cents (pkg of 8) not in kit. Placement was a little restrictive with dealer installed bed liner. Takes 30 minutes to install all 4. Great buy.
Fast delivery Great product A++
Fast and easy to install.
These things are solid although i put duck tape on the T pads....installed 2014 Chevy Silverado 6.5 ft bed for 1200lb Starcraft.

Still have not moved! Great design and cost savings.
Using on 2013 Ford F150 for a smaller cabover. Great quality product, shipped fast, works great. Had to turn bolts around to clear inside of bed. Held camper solidly over rough trails!
These tie downs work great. It holds my 3k lb Cabover camper in place without issues. And I live in my camper, so not losing my home is very important to me!!
I bought these for our brand new 2019 GMC Sierra 1/2 ton because no custom options were available. I was happy that they were easy to install, and look great. I’ve used them in the past and have been happy with how they hold campers. Sure I’d rather have custom mounts from the frame, but for the price and because these are my only option that’s what I got. These will work just fine, and I like that I can swap these out on trucks.
The one thing I wish was different was that the threaded T handle portion would have a longer option. I had to fancy up a 2”x6” to run inside the side of my p/u bed so they would touch something.
As always another great shopping experience with etrailer. They haven’t let me down yet. Especially Lori, what a great customer service rep.
As far as I'm concerned these are junk. Wasted my money. Do not mount in proper location on a 2011 Chevy Silverado 6.5' Bed. Because of the design of the bed rail the mounts cannot be installed in the proper locations for securing camper. The photos show the maximum forward and back that these can be mounted. Not at all made for the 6.5 foot bed 2007 or later Siverado. The Black Powder Coated Steel isn't that great either. Paint missing, dinged up from storage and shipping probably.
These camper hold-downs appear to be manufactured from good steel stock and should do the job nicely. I did have one piece that was slightly damaged but was not caught when packaged (the damage was not due to shipping). I was able to take a hammer to the bent steel and straighten it sufficiently to use the part. It was a little disappointing however, and should have been caught prior to shipping.
Overall I am pleased with the quality and price
The product was shipped extremely quickly, it arrived 3 days after I ordered them. As far as the product goes I was extremely pleased that they were as easy to install as the product video showed them to be. I had been looking for
a tie down system that would work for my 2018 Ford since I purchased my camper in 2020 and after much research I found these at etrailer. One word of advice is that if your camper has a shower or other design that allows the camper to extend across the bed behind the wheel wells, either move the rear tie downs forward or shorten the leveling stud before you attempt to load your camper. On mine it turned out that once the tie downs were placed and attached I had to cut off about 3 inches of the threads.
Other than that it was an easy install although the bolts that attach the tie downs to the under lip clamp are a challenge to install but take your time and they will go on. I will post an update once I have been on the road for a few trip and see how they are working.
Thank you etrailer for your super fast shipping and online product videos.
I received this tie downs on July, and first used it yesterday.
My Camper ‘s dry weight is about 1600 lb, and the products are good for my truck camper.
The problem was the position where tie downs were fitted on my truck. I tried several times to fitted tie downs to my truck.
These Brophy tie downs have worked great over the past year. I leave the camper on the truck and it is my daily driver as well as RV. The camper weighs in at 1500 dry and about 2000 loaded. I do not do any radical 4x4 but I have taken some backwoods off road logging trails.
These tie-downs worked awesome for our pop up camper on our 1998 F150. Super snug, haven't loosened up or moved on the truck, camper hasn't budged either. I was leary at first not having the camper tied to the frame but now I have total faith in these tie downs.
I used these to mount a vintage 1970 Avion C-11 to a 1993 D250. They worked great and were much stronger than I expected - and it was a huge cost savings (and a much more attractive look) than some of the frame mounted options of more than $1000. There were some oddities that I noticed. It was impossible to mount them exactly the way the instructions suggested because of where on the wings near the cab,. The brackets also could not stay on with the camper unloaded because they would hit the jack mounts, meaning they had to me bolted in after the camper was in the truck but before lowering the jacks, making the access to the bolts a frustrating 'feel for it' experience.I'f suggest the manufacturer secure the bolt so that you don't need to hold both sides when tightening/loosening, and also refine it to need less turns to do so. It took me 2 hours to mount the first time, and not much less when removing them with the limited access. The pads also came off in the first use.
I gave it a 5 star because I realize there are limited options for older campers and anything universal is going to have issues with some thing - so that's just my input and experience. Overall pretty reasonable for the price and functionality.
Purchased the Brophy camper tie down set of four for the Palomino truck camper I just purchased. These are my second set as the first set were sold with my Hallmark camper. Easy to install and hold the camper in the truck with no worries.

Did not work for me. Tried to send them back but shipping would cost a bundle so i would get less than half of what i paid. Sold them same day on-line. Not good for a larger camper.
