I can recall a thread (and pics) here a good while back on this very subject, whereby some poor fella hit a bump on an unpaved road and the camper went airborne due to weak tie-downs…The plywood wherethe tie-down points attach separated from the camper’s body..Wolf Creek was made aware of this issue, but that’s about all I know - you might check with them, but I suspect the standard CYA response just may be “do not over tighten”…
In fact, I just googled this (ugg!)

Don't overtighten and rip the mounts out is good advice.
However the old story you posted is 99% irrelevant to the Op's issue. Would be 100% if not for both being Wolf Creek campers, lol...
In the story, it was actually the best possible outcome that the camper mounts DID pull out.
