Geez, now I am accused of not taking a photo to hide something? That was the only photo I had and was taken because my missus was in it. The camper was made for a 6 1/2" bed (which I have) and the anchors are Brophy. The turn buckles are part of the Brophy kit and chains were subbed for heavier gauge chains. The rear "turnbuckles" are are Torklift. I thank you all for your concern and expertise. I will lurk for awhile and see if I can gain some of this expertise.

Thanks for responding, wiredgeorge.

Brophy (I always wondered what they were called, thanks!) when overstressed does cause damage to the truck bed and outer fender, oftentimes when used in a manner not designed for. This has been reported on this forum before. The word I used; overstressed. Many, here too, recommend Truck Campers not to be attached in this manner. Brophy Mounts are typically used for attaching Truck Toppers.

As for the photo and your statement for the photo and TC designed for your truck, I welcome a future photo of your entire truck and Camper combination. My perspective was made due to the portion beyond your tail lights and rear mounting bracket, of the TC, out of the frame of your photo.

As for the turnbuckle, I can only see the front mounting fastener and you did not respond to that fastener. I can only state that I am not aware that Torklift currently produces or sells a fastener as pictured at the front mount on your TC.
