Truck Camper on Gooseneck Trailer
Port-a-Party! This is our redneck toy hauler. It's a Palomino pop-up camper on our JB gooseneck. We now have a patio to party on wherever we go.

I would not cross those tie down straps like that. They should be front to front and rear to rear just like any truck camper tie down setup. If I had the strength to lift the rear end of that camper I could tip it forward in that current configuration. The pivot point right now is where the straps cross...
Yeah that was just to get it home when I bought it. Not going to use the straps again. Those are my Macs I use to tie down my Jeep. I have the camper hard mounted to the trailer now. There is a 2x4 frame member right below the camper door. I took a piece of 1/4" thick aluminum angle iron the width of the trailer and ran 8 3/8" lag bolts up thru the aluminum, thru the trailer deck boards, and into that 2x4. Then I shot more lag bolts up in several key places in similar fashion. Ran some aluminum angle along the sides below the wheel wells and screwed it into the frame of the camper and the trailer deck the whole length. Those tool boxes also help secure it side to side. They are mounted with carriage bolts thru the deck and two cross members per box. I was debating running a few carriage bolts thru the camper into the boxes too but haven't done it yet. I don't think it's going anywhere.
