Expert Reply:
According to Torklift they recommend that the tension on a turnbuckle, like their TorkLift SpringLoad XL Turnbuckles for Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # TLS9050A should be at 300-ft/lbs to properly secure the camper.
This is going to be standard across different camper manufacturers as this is what they recommend as well.
