This morning, I went online and checked out Torklift Fast Gun Install Video.
After viewing, then going outside and checking each one, I believe I had them too soft, not hard enough.
Looked at the viewing eye for half across for bar and that each Fastguns when closed the rubber O-Ring at top of threaded shaft is 1/4 inch down in locked position.
And listening to video, they says each Fastgun has 300lbs force when secured, was clearly not the case,
Camper now sits firm on Truck bed, lot less movement.
I don't know why but, I had decided that they were too tight, so I loosened them., worried that they may damage TC mounts if too tight.
But if too loose, damage will occur, through TC, flopping around.
Being a much bigger TC, more weight, it is critical, load is secured properly.
They have to be firm.
So clearly I had them too soft.
