Took another look at my truck bed. I have eyelets to secure cargo recessed into the side of the truck bed about two feet from the tailgate.

The strap itself takes almost no room and the cargo hooks are recessed enough the hook will not interfere with the camper. So even though I got a tight fit, they will fit easily. Might give this a try on the next trip.
