What Else Is Needed Besides Tie-Downs For Securing A Truck Bed Camper To A 2018 Ram 2500

Question

Question:

Hello, I am getting ready to buy a Palomino HS750 truck Camper to sit on my Ram 2018 2500 truck. Will I need anything other than the Brophy clamps located on the inside of the bed. The camper weighs 1870 lbs. I guess what I am asking is will this be enought to secure the camper for trips. Thanks.

Before purchasing the Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs # HSAB you'll want to take a few measurements of your bedrails in order to determine if these would be a compatible fit. I've attached a diagram below going over the dimensions of the tie-downs. If it does fit then all you'll need is the Brophy Basic Turnbuckles w/ Hardware for Camper Tie-Downs # TDHP to complete your setup.

If the Brophy camper tie-downs are not going to be a fit I'll need to know the length of your Ram's bed, if it has running boards that extend under the bed, and if you have a factory hitch in order to find a compatible option.

I reached out to Torklift and they have never had a fit for a Toyota Tacoma because their hitches are for capacities greater than that size truck can handle. This means that the camper tie downs compatible with their hitch will not work for you due…
