With the design, it's hard for me to imagine them breaking without doing damage to the frame and/or the bed. Would you please post a picture of your install.
Are you using the torklift spring loaded tiedowns? Or are you using chains with turnbuckles and trying to put enough pressure on them to keep the camper from moving around? You aren't suppose to pull on the tie down hard enough to keep the camper from moving around. That will happen even on normal roads.
Do you have a plastic bed liner? The camper will easily move around with one. Most camper manufacturers and Torklift say not to use a plastic liner.
Yes, using the normal Torklift fastgun tiedowns. Straight from camper tie down hole to Torklift extension piece that slides into the frame mounts.
Yes, I have a rubber mat in the bed to keep the TC gripping and in place. Trouble is, there isn’t enough downward pressure to hold it on the mat since both frame mounts are now broken.
I’ll post some pictures as soon as the weather improves. It’s wet and raining.
