Truck Camper Forum _ Support Equipment _ tie down options

Posted by: mep Apr 2 2023, 12:50 PM

Hi I am new here. Just bought a very inexpensive slide in camper and need to get a set up for tie downs. I have what maybe a stupid question. If someone doesnt really care too much about the camper could you just use the cargo tie downs rings in the bed of the truck with heavy duty ratchet straps for your camper tie downs?? Chevy says maximum load per corner is 500 lbs. thanks

Doubt that would be a problem,
how much do you think the camper weighs?

That's the recommendation by four wheel camper for their campers.

thanks, I don't know the exact weight but guessing around 1500 lbs. based on what I see listed for other comparable models.
