Taking Delivery

If you don't mind spending a few bucks, you can buy a plug-and-play (pardon the pun) in-bed connector that makes the installation pitifully easy.

10 Hours!! :E Mine took longer to read and understand the directions than the actual install. The drivers side front was the toughest due to the gas tank behind the frame. I can't believe they quoted you ten hours with a straight face!

I have installed torklift tie-downs on two Ford trucks.

10 hours is way too much for labor - sounds like this shop has never done them before?

The plug and wires are easy to find at most automotive stores.

Is the connector like 7 - Way Connector shown here:

Curious if you are buying the camper new or used? The dealer I just purchased my new camper from did the tork-lift tie-downs, super hitch/truss and wiring install at no extra charge. Purchasing used may be different though. I installed the tork-lift tie-downs and super hitch on the previous truck I owned, it took the good part of an afternoon but it wasn't that hard.

If they're willing to charge that much I wonder where else they are willing/trying to rip you off? Take a good look at the deal before you sign on the bottom line.

For the camper plug I have always just ran an extension from the 7-pin bumper plug. I don't use that plug-in for anything because I don't tow a heavy trailer and if I did I would just get a splitter adapter and still do it from there rather than trying to splice into the trucks wiring and drill holes in my bed.

It was on a 2015 Chevy 2500.

I had my plug installed at a trailer shop. It took them about one hour.

Thanks. I have fairly good wrenching ability! Hopefully it'll take me less.

I'm curious. What tires did you upgrade to?
