Torklift tie-down have you seen this??

Anyone ever seen this? Went to put the camper on yesterday and found my rear tie-down missing!!??!

It would appear that the bracket that holds the tie-down in broke off at some point. It has a little rust on it BUT I had the camper on 3-ish weeks ago and didnt notice anything. That being said the bracket could have been broken at that point and the tie-down securely in the hitch still.

I'm going to call Torklift on Monday. I dont expect them to do anything for me as I've had them for 8? years but I'm just curious if they have seen this before.

I cant imagine how the bracket could have broken...bent yes, broken, clean off??? It would have been a 1 in a million hit!

    LOL! Thats all I'm doing too!

    Honestly it was pouring out yesterday and I didnt feel like rolling under the truck to check the one that is still there on the other side but it looks just like its bent not welded
