Most tiedowns are in the 250#-300# range when tightened to mfg spec. HOWEVER these are using spring loaded tiedowns. Even then I err to the light side. So when frame flexes or suspension maxes there is some forgiveness in the tiedown tension. It 'sounds' like your using simple turnbuckles, so numbers dont apply. Yes you can rip eyes out of camper or bend your bed, doesnt mean you will but the potential is there and greater with fixed or overly tightend tie downs. Good news is it will only happen once. We are mostly 'locating' our campers.
