Why cant I use ratchet straps for tie downs????

Poly straps aren't made to tighten down forever like a TC needs 365 days a year.

There are four truckcampers in my camping circle, and not one of them keeps the camper on the truck full time.

At least in my part of the world, a pickup has a lot more to do than carry a camper- that's why folks buy them instead of Class C's.
