Wolf Creek 850 roll over story

Since we are on the subject of tie downs... My camper will be kept on my truck with (old technology I assume?) belly bars. Two of them. One front and one in the back. (there is no bumper on my truck due to the size of the camper) These bars are tied into the frame (so to speak) and I am using turn buckels attached to each of the four jacks that are permanently attached to the camper (1976 Amerigo) What do you think of this setup as far as safety goes?

Bellybars tied into the frame front and back are probably as safe/strong as Torklifts. What I think we are seeing in the pics here is that once something started to fail, other failures occured and it took out the whole camper. It might have happened fast but it probably was a chain reaction. Maybe it was the 'perfect storm' combination of wind, wind direction, and truck speed coupled with tie downs in the camper that were overpowered. But we were not there and are only arm chair quarterbacks. It is very surprising that the camper came off the truck. That must have been one heck of a gust catching the camper at just the right time and angle.

If I recall from several years ago a few AF owners had some issues with tie downs pulling through plywood. And this from a company that prides itself with Northwood Quality, 30 folks on the roof at a time with no issues, massive frames on FW and TT's etc.

In one pic we can see the aluminum tubing. I thought Northwood inserted wood into the aluminum tubing for the screws to tighten into. There appears to be no wood inside that tubing.
