Those things are pretty slippery and the ties are not really design for holding the weight of the camper. When I was shopping around for my camper, I did run into 2 or 3 good deals on campers who slid off the truck, so those things really happen. What isn't designed to hold the weight of the camper?Re: Truck bed mounting questionOK I think I will just pick up some good grade 8 bolts and bolt it down. Thanks everyoneRe: Truck bed mounting questionYa I put a straight edge over the ribs and the bolt head would stick up above it maybe an 1/8" or so. The bedliner would go over that then the rubber mat over the bedliner. I agree with you about the bedliner being slick and I would not mount the camper just on the liner itself. With the rubber mat over the liner it seems pretty stable. I may do a roll in liner in the future though.Re: Truck bed mounting questionOK great thank you. Am I correct with my thinking that the bolt head shouldn't be a problem with the liner and bed mat over it? Meaning the camper should sit flat and nut on the bolt heads?Truck bed mounting questionHi guys, hope this is the right section for this. Getting ready to take our 93 Lance lc900 out for its first trip with us. We have a 97 f350 crew cab 7.3 diesel that we will be hauling with. While installing the happijac tie downs in the bed of the truck I noticed a few missing and loose bed bolts. The ones that mount the bed to the frame of the truck. I tried to tighten the loose ones but they were stuck so I cut them off. It looks like the previous owner had a fifth wheel mount in the bed and left out two bed bolts when he removed it. So I have 3 bolts holding the bed on where there should be six. I can't use the original Ford bolts because the part in the bed that holds the bolts has been rounded when the bolts spun when removing them. What is my best bet for bolting the bed to the frame? Regular grade 8 hex bolt with a large fender washer and nylock nut? Carriage bolts? I don't think the height of the hex head will be a problem because I have a plastic liner and a rubber mat that will go over the bolts. I just want to make sure its bolted down well since I will be putting the camper in it. Any ideas or suggestions.Re: 1993 lance lc900 lensesOK I found a them and the porch light also. Thank you. Anyone know what ac unit the 93 lc900 uses? I can't find a manufacturer on my unit. Trying to research if I can run my ac unit off a Honda eu2000 generator, but it sounds like the older ac units don't run on that small of a generator.Re: 1993 lance lc900 lensesThe one on the back is just the clear one that covers the bulb for the porch light.1993 lance lc900 lensesHello all. My wife and I just bought a 1993 Lance lc900 truck camper and it has a few broken/missing lenses. I would like to replace the broken/ missing light lenses but can seem to find which ones I need. I have downloaded the owners manual and dont see any info there. Can someone steer me in the right direction where to find these. I'm missing the rear porch light by the door latch, the license plate lights, and both porch lights on the side are broken. Any help would be great, thanks.
