What is the Difference Between Brophy Truck Camper Tie-Downs  

Updated 03/21/2017 | Published 03/20/2017



Question:

Is the only difference between the HSAB and the HSSF is that the HSAB has an up-turned lip where the turn-buckles fastened? Which would be best to secure an 8-foot camper on a 2013 Silverado extended cab with 6 1/2 foot bed? Thank you.

Expert Reply:

Yes, the # HSAB is angled at the ends making it easier to attach the turnbuckles and keeping the tie-downs further from the truck's fenders. The # HSSF will work just as well but isn't quite as easy to connect.

Difference Between The Brophy Camper Tie-Downs HSAB And HSSF

The Brophy #HSAB and #HSSF are essentially the same thing with the exception that the #HSAB has a small bend in it to make connecting to your turnbuckles easier. If you're still needing turnbuckles you can use part #TDHP.
