Northstar pop-top question.
Hello all, I recently purchased a 2005 Northstar 850SC. There are eye bolts behind each of the rear tie down points (see pic.) I want to use the eye bolts as an attach point for my rear Happijac tu...

Manfred,
What you want to do is put a "quick link" screw chain link on the tie down points so you can shorten the distance and use more thread turns.

I was told by Torklift not to use these. They are the "weak link" in your tie down system.
My Torklift Fastguns shipped from Torklift with quick links in the box... A decent 5/16" quick link will be rated at about 2,500lbs WLL. Go with a 3/8" link rated at 4,000 lbs if you're paranoid :-)
You might not want a Chinese one from the big box hardware store, but quality quick links will by no means be a weak spot in your installation. The tie down points on the camper itself may yield before the quick links do.
