Recommended Camper Tie-Downs For A 2019 Arctic Fox Model 865 In A 2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Question:

I have a 2000 F250 4x4 Diesel Superduty Extended Cab that has a bed that measures 7 feet and the stake pockets are 73 inches center to center. I just purchased a used 2019 Arctic Fox Model 865 camper that weighs 2641 lbs dry. id like to use the Brophy Stake Pocket Mounted Camper Tie Downs. Will they work for me?

The Brophy Stake Pocket Mounted Camper Tie Downs # TDSF are meant for campers only up to 8' so you wouldn't be able to safely tie down your 2019 Arctic Fox Model 865 Truckbed Camper.

Instead I recommend the HappiJac Truck-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # LC182910-182971 with the HappiJac Original Turnbuckles for Camper Tie-Downs # LC182898. These custom-fit camper tie-downs permanently mount to your truck's body to distribute the weight of your camper and limit movement in all directions. Low-profile attachment points are discrete and rear anchors remove for a clean look.
