Fastgun tiedowns - tension vs camper weight
The manufacturers specify adjusting the tension so the O-ring is 1/4" below the barrel when the tension is applied. No mention of varying the loading depending on the size and weight of the camper ...

What Planet are you camping on?
Planet Brazil right now as it happens but since the rig is from litigious USA, I assume manufacturers would cover their ass as best they can. In this case there is one product with a one size fits all setting despite camper sizes and weights varying by more that 2:1 ratio (or more) and presumably having proportional strength of tie down points. In this case duty of care by two different providers seems as if it might set up a conflict.
Was just a thought.
