Tie downs
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...

Those in bed eyes are not much of tie-downs.
Doubt you will have access to them once you load camper on. You need outside bed hooking points. If you have older truck and don't care about paint too much, you can hook up straps under the bed and put rubber mats between straps and paint.
Like those "friction mats" you put inside kitchen cabinets.
And if that is your truck on the picture- get rid of that slippery liner.
