Just bought Truck Camper- how do I move
I bought a 2005 Arctic Fox and need to transport from Jax to Tallahassee. Have 2008 F450 but tie downs haven't arrived yet. How do you transport temporarily if you don't have real tie downs like Torkl...

You can buy any size/width of ratchet straps you want..I have a pair of 30K ratchet straps..Four inches wide,same width as semi straps..
They come in different sizes Kayteg..LOL..NOTE..The 1/2/3/4 is the width of the straps in inches or "...Not number 1-2 etc..
I can't tell you how many miles I put on this truck without any tie downs as known on the internet..Just a chain from the front stake pocket to the rear TC tie down and a swimming noodle to keep it from rubbing the paint..LOL
Look Mom..No tie downs!
All kidding aside..When I first started truck camping,there was no Torklift or HappiJack tie downs..We had to just make it work and we did it with whatever..Straps will certainly get you home and if your creative,without any scratches as we did for years before these expensive setups.
