Hey Kiera! Thank you for providing that information below. That is the factory hitch in the picture you sent. The correct frame mounted tie-downs are the TorkLift Tie Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Front and Rear # TL65PR. If you would like the premium version with aluminum construction and stainless steel you can use the # TL97PR instead.

You will also need turnbuckles like the TorkLift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles for Frame-Mounted Tie-Downs - Stainless Steel # TLS9529-2-LK to secure your camper. These are really quick and easy to use. It looks like the front tie-down sits below your fuel door so that will be especially nice to have when you need to fill up.

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
