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 ...

Another vote for how they "feel", IE tension at closing. When I bought my camper, tension at closing is what the shop guy at the dealership told me to pay attention to. So it is totally a feel thing for me. I don't pay any attention to the O rings.
I like the comment about the handle showing through the lock hole when resistance begins. A good measuring point.
