My guess is the slot they cut is a fuse.
If you pull super hard on the plate like the TC would, the plate looks like it's made to rip before your frame/anchors do.
One of the members reported that after driving over the bump, the weak link turned out to be 1" tubing. It simply bend, while slots were untouched.
Frankly when I see small tubing and 3/8" rods holding my 6500lb camper, I have 2nd thoughts entering those 15% + grades.
Another member wrote that taking his smaller camper off-road - he is adding nylon strap around it and attached to front of truck bed.
So, next time I go on longer trip with TC, a strap goes into camper storage.
