Torklift camper tie down width question
Well, most of the upgrades are done and we will be on our first trip soon with the old camper and new torklift mounts. Curious, the mounts have two holes as options for the width of the tie downs. ...

I called Torklift about that very issue a couple of years ago. Tech was great. Said to get the Fastguns as parallel to the ground as possible. ie - Pointy end at the front to the front & pointy end at the rear to the rear. Make the connections as wide as possible.
I needed more clearance between my Fastguns and the RAM fenders. I talked to Torklift and they recommended drilling another hole in the truck tiedown extensions. They said to drill the hole about an inch farther "inboard" than the other 2 holes. Same size...1/4" inch so the pins will fit. That will put the Fastgun hook up points farther out and more allow more clearance with the fenders.
Torklift also explained the the truck extensions do not secure the campers by their horizontal/vertical fit between the extension and the frame mount. They are held by the tension of the corners of the extension within the frame mount. That is why the triangulation is required.
