Type of Tiedowns used: None
Truck and Camper Setup: I have no clue what model my camper is.



I made some custom frame mounted tie down bars for my 99 dodge, they are made with 2 in square tubing and have forged eye bolts in the ends. My camper has flush mounted D rings. What I'm wanting to know is what I should/could use as my actual tiedowns. Can I just get some forged turnbuckles and connect it with chains? Or do I absolutely have to have the spring loaded turnbuckles? blink.gif

I made my own and used pipe. . . I just used turnbuckles with chains.

Here's a picture.

I'm getting ready to buy a F-250 diesel and I'm going to make new frame mounted tie downs and use 2" square tubing, But I'm not going to use turnbuckles next time.
