Front Frame Mount Tie Downs Not Working!

Torklift stands behind their product so if you've been buying sets of mounts over and over and over that's on you. They would most certainly work with a reasonable, rational customer who came to them with such an issue. At the very least they can assess your setup and tell you what is happening.

For them to be breaking due to upward force you must be putting ungodly amounts of tension on the tiedowns, or hitting bumps hard enough to send the camper into space.

IMHO the camper should stay in the bed simply due to weight and friction under normal driving conditions. I myself would not hesitate to take the tiedowns off my camper and drive around town. It would not move a fraction of an inch and I am not doing anything special to keep it there.

It’s bumps sending it into space, I’m sure.

I’m just done dealing with the issue.

Torklift is definitely a good company. They offered to replace a rear mount that popped off before. It just came loose and was gone one day when I drove without the camper on. Just the bar/mount, not the rear frame mount.

So they are quite fair and nice.

But, their product can’t stand up to the loads on the front of my camper. I plan to fabricate something that will.

The problem has been temporarily solved until I get in somewhere. The movement of the camper in the bed has been stopped. I did some blocking in the bed to hold it in place. It is still loosely held in the bed in the front by the broken frame mounts, but it’ll stay until I get in somewhere in October.
