Temporary Truck camper tie-down.

I had to bring a camper from Bakersfield to my home last fall. I made some temporary tie downs that worked so well I kept using them. I had aftermarket tube steps that had a strong rear mount. I run a few links of chain off the mount and welded into place. Ran more chain from there to a turn buckle to the front mount of the camper. For the rear I weld a short piece of tubing onto the trailer hitch in behind. I then took another pice of tubing about 6-7' long to run inside that one. Inside that piece I ran a length of chain from one side of the camper to the other like a big U. Used turnbuckles on either side. Camper did not move in 3000 miles and some of those were pretty fast and curvy.

You can use ratchet straps as well. Just make sure they are the big ones. The problem is you may rub the body. You need a mount away from the body.
