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...
If it was me doing it,I would get a rubber mat under it so it won't slide on the bed insert and run the front tie downs to the frame with a ratchet strap...The rear to the bumper..
I've done it that way countless times with larger campers than your buying..
