Truck Camper Tie Downs
I’ve been using the Torklift Fast guns on my truck camper for the past 11 years, but the camper has aged so has the tie down points. I really don’t feel comfortable putting the downward pressure the Torklift tie downs inflict on the camper, I think they say, properly adjusted its a 300 lb force on each corner. I am starting to see the tie down point sag ever so slightly under that pressure. 300 lbs of force seems a bit excessive to me.
Do the Happi Jack tie-downs exert less? Can the threaded rods on the TL Fastguns be used in the HappiJac tie down bodies?
Thanks,
Mr. E
Similar to other responses, if you’re worried about tightening up your tie downs, the problem isn’t with the tiedowns.
Never even considered the actual tension force. Just good n snug, ie just snug enough to keep the camper from sliding around.
Either fix the camper or ease up on the tension, until it moves on you and tighten up a bit more from there.
