The Brophy camper tie downs, # HSSF, will fit your 2011 Ram 1500 as long as there is at least 2 inches of lip underneath the bed rail and as long as it is not a step side bed or a double-wall bed. I have linked a video review and the installation instructions for you to view.
Provided the tie downs are installed correctly and the camper is the proper weight for the truck capacity (check truck owners manual to confirm) then windy conditions should not be a problem at all. I recommend using the tie down hardware package, # TDHP, with the Brophy tie downs.
The best way to secure a camper in the truck bed is to go with frame mounted tie downs from Tork Lift. To see the available Tork Lift options you would need to have a 4x4 with or without running boards and I would need to know if the truck has a hitch and if so if it is aftermarket, Tork Lift, or factory.
