Dumb question about truck camper tie downs
OK, so looking at all types of truck camper pictures, both on and off trucks I have noticed that most all truck campers are "tied" down to truck with the same type frame mounted system from various ma...

The fact is, the tie downs do not do as much as most people think they do. They are not intended to hold the TC on the way truckers use big straps to hold loads on. They are intended to prevent the minute vibrations from walking the TC back and forth on the truck. Especially to keep it from walking out the back of the truck.
Ideally, you would have the two tiedowns at front at an angle opposite the rear. If the tie downs are straight up and down, they will minimize the distance the TC can travel, but not as efficiently as if they were mounted at an angle.
The TC will move around a little, but not come off the truck under normal use of the truck/TC.
