Expert Reply:

The HSSF hold down brackets would use the Tie Down Hardware Package, part # TDHP, which includes hooks, chain and turnbuckles. The tie down hardware would typically attach to existing eye bolts built into the underside of camper. If your camper does not have such an attachment point, you can add them, as long as they attach to the frame of the camper. The Steel flanges shown in the photo you provided could be used as attachment points for the hardware if they are connected to the camper frame. You would simply need to drill holes in them to accept the hooks from the hardware kit.

You will want the attachment points for the camper to sit to the inside of the hold down brackets, as shown in the diagram I provided.
