Question:

Will these work on my 2008 silverado crew cab to hold down a Palomino Bronco 800 pop up slide in camper. I like the idea of not drilling holes anywhere.

The Brophy Stake Pocket Camper Tie Downs, part # TDSF, will fit most full-size pickups with straight fenders and single-wall construction. These will install permanently in the stake tubes. Installation requires drilling to secure each tie down to the top of the bed rail (with included hardware).

The Brophy # HSSF Camper Hold Down does not require drilling for installation. However, the HSSF requires a minimum of 2-inches underneath the lip of the bed rail for installation of the supporting clamp. Please refer to the attached photo showing several views of how the clamp attaches. This kit will not fit step-side beds; it will also not fit some double-wall beds and some dually beds. If your truck has a drop-in bed liner that blocks access to the underside of the bed rails it will have to be trimmed.

I have linked review videos for each of these products to help illustrate their installation.

We also offer a tie down hardware kit, part # TDHP, to secure your camper to the hold-downs. This is also shown in the videos.
