Tie-down systems performance/safety vs cost
I have no doubt this has been beaten to death. Now that we have a new truck camper, I need to outfit the truck to safely carry it. If it matters, the truck is a 2007 2500HD Chevrolet Silverado crew...

In my mind the key is to have something with a spring and when installed have the spring tensioned properly so that the "eyelet" on your camper is not torn out.

These have a spring inside them to allow for shock.
Tighten until all the slack is gone and then tighten an additional 3/4" of thread travel.
The front ones do about 90% of the work.
The rear ones just add some stability and to keep the back end from bouncing around.
