Torklift FastGuns size confusion
I'm using Torklift frame-mounted tie downs with FastGuns on my Bigfoot camper. I've always had a problem with the rear Fastguns being too long. All four of my Fastguns are the same size.
Measuring from the top to bottom attachment point, my front Fastguns are extended to 35"-36" while the rear Fastguns are 31"-32".
I have the "Long-Range" size which Torklift says have a range of 25"-43". If that's true, I should have no problem but as I've said my rear Fastguns are too long (with the bottom "screw-shaft" screwed in as far as it will go). It does work for me (just barely) but is sometimes a bit loose and cannot be shortened any further.
I removed one of my Fastguns and measured from the top to bottom attachment point (obviously with no spring tension). When the "screw shaft" was screwed in to the maximum, the overall length was 31 1/2" - when the "screw shaft" was un-screwed to the maximum, the overall length was 42". But Torklift advertises the "Long-Range" Fastgun to have a range of 25"-43". The 43" number is close but the 25" number is way off! The actual range is about 10" - not 18"!
How does Torklift get the 25"-43" range?
