Thinking of renting a 1-ton but not sure how best to tie down the camper ... have a good rubber mat for the bed but gotta believe no rental with torklifts ... would ratchet straps work? Thanks.
Ratchet straps will work but I would go with stake pocket tie downs and not drill the holes..I try to keep them around just to bring truck campers home or for loaners.
I never did put tie downs on my older lance/F-250,just tied them to the stake pockets with turnbuckle's and chain...Worked in Idaho's back country very well without issue.
In the old days,stake pocket tie downs were the to go method for most.
Good luck.
