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...
That's a dang good picture of how I have done it many times...Front secured to the frame and rear to the bumper...With good straps,that's as secure as any setup with a tough bumper ...I think why we haven't seen straps made for truck camper tie downs is the weather factor in the straps degrading to the elements....
