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. ...

The answer is No.
The inserts are generic as opposed to the truck mounts which are custom made for each specific truck, usually made-to-order on the spot. The two holes are generic as well. Use what floats your boat.
Triangulation is correct, but side to side not a big deal. Front to back is, but has nothing to do with width here.
You can angle the chains or have them vertical as far as the side to side support goes, it wont matter much. Is your TC snugly fitted in there?
Do have the chains angled front to back (standing at the side the chains will be at an angle, but fron the front view they can be vertical). This keeps the TC from creeping forward or backwards.
So, the front chains might go down and back and the rear chains go down and forward to oppose each other and help lock the TC still.
