Loading Truck Camper
One of the most important aspects of owning a truck camper is learning how to
correctly load and secure your truck camper to your truck. When loading gear into
your camper, always try to keep the load even left to right. As well place heavier
items forward of your trucks axle inside the camper.
Always ensure your truck has enough payload capacity to safely carry your
camper. The dry weight of your camper is posted in the rear closet as weighed
when it left the factory.
Tie downs and Turn buckles
We recommend the use of frame mounted tie downs and spring loaded turn
buckles to secure your camper to your truck. All four tie downs locations must be
used and turn buckles should be checked regularly for correct tension as driving
with loose turn buckles can cause damage to your truck camper. We recommend
using TorkLift frame mounts on your truck and TorkLift Fastguns for tie downs on
the camper.
Mat
We recommend the use of a soft rubber bed mat (3/8”) max thickness be installed
directly under the bottom of every camper. This helps prevent the camper from
sliding in the box. Thicker horse stall type mats do not work as well and will cause
the camper to move.
