I am new to truck campers. Looking at used ones. Can I safely mount a 1000 lb camper on my Ram 1500 short bed using heavy duty ratchet straps and the factory tie downs in the bed. Looking for opinion...
I drove over 2000 miles with my 4300lb camper (winterized) ratchet-strapped to my flatbed. But I did haul heavy equipment in the past and knew how to secure the cargo. Still heavy camper mounted on steel flatbed was moving around, so get rubber mat.
