A Safe Ride is a Comfortable Ride
If you're looking for the best tie-downs for your camper, frame-mounted is the way to go. The frame is the most solid part of your entire vehicle, so it just makes sense to attach your camper to something that's not going to warp, bend, or twist. Even more importantly, the camper's center of gravity will sit lower and its weight will be spread across the entire bed. This avoids a top-heavy load perched on top of your bed rails that's liable to sway and get pushed around by crosswinds. The camper's not going to shift or slide around while you drive; it's going to stay put, and your truck is going to handle just like it does without a camper.
Quick Tip: If you have a plastic or spray-in bed liner, it's important that you use a rubber mat under the camper to eliminate any sliding or bouncing.
Don't Ruin Your Truck's Looks
Frame-mounted tie-downs are also a great pick for preserving your truck's good looks. The brackets install on the frame, tucked nearly flush with the underside of the vehicle. Remove the arms from the brackets when you're not hauling your camper, and the brackets will be barely visible.
Custom Fit, No-Drill Installation
Completely custom to your vehicle, the tie-downs attach to exisiting holes in your frame so that there's little to no drilling and no need for any modifications. Because they're custom, you'll want to use our in-house application guide to make sure you get the exact right model. The tie-downs you need might be different depending on what type of hitch or other accessories you have.
Securing Your Camper
Once the tie-downs are installed, use a set of turnbuckles (sold separately) to secure the camper to the tie-downs. The shank on each arm has 2 pin holes so you can choose how far out they extend, that way the turnbuckles can reach the anchors on your camper without making contact with your truck. Tighten the turnbuckles to the correct level of tension (not too tight!).
Make sure the anchor points are offset from the tie-downs instead of lined up with them so that they will hold your camper from multiple angles. This is important for keeping your camper from shifting. Two holes in the attachment plate of the tie-downs let you find the best angle for you camper anchors.

Video Transcript for A Look at the TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs
Hello neighbors, it's Brad from Etrailer and today we are at World Wide Technologies Raceway, and we're walking around taking a look at all of the trailers and all the different combos of rigs. And this one caught my eye. I love in-bed campers. I think it's an awesome way to get around and still be able to camp but also have the usability of a truck. You don't need a big old RV to tow things around. And we ran into Leroy, talked to him.
He's got the torque lift mounts here. And he's taken this to Colorado to visit family. And the fact that that holds that in place is key. With that camper, you're really gonna want that stability. The torque lift does a really good job of making sure you have solid points that mount it and keep the camper in place not moving as you're going down the road.
Now having the torque lift tie downs are gonna be essential for your in-bed camper. It's gonna bolt directly to the frame creating a mounting point that extends past the outside portion of the bed. And that way you can have your strut in place and anchor this down. You do have adjustability here with your jam nuts being able to really tension that down perfectly. And you're gonna have them on all four corners of your bed so it's gonna keep it nice and stable.
So I was talking to Leroy about his trips out west to Colorado with this, and a lot of what you're gonna get is gusts on the highway, and something that he did as a racer and fabricator, he made his own wedges inside of the bed to kind of keep that in place because your anchor guard torque lift does act as a little bit of suspension to kind of keep that in place. So that really keeps it nice and steady and just kinda make sure that even over rough and rocky terrain, it's gonna stay in place. Torque lift camper tie-downs come custom fit for your truck, like Leroy has here on his Ram. You'll want to use our fit guide here at Etrailer to ensure that you're getting the proper fit for the front and rear of your truck bed. While you're at it, be sure to pick up a set of torque lift turn buckles to make the connection between your in-bed camper and custom tie downs.
They're available in the traditional style like Leroy has and also as a locking fast gun turn buckle with quick release levers, making it fast and easy to secure your camper to your truck. An awesome day at World Wide Technology's Raceway. We got to meet lots of neighbors whether they be local or around the country right here in Etrailer's own backyard in Madison, Illinois. Now it's awesome to see them in their element with their race cars and we're happy to allow them to have the parts and accessories necessary to make sure that they have the best experience while towing their race cars around.

Looking good. The frame mounts arrived well packaged and in good condition.
Installation was very difficult on the 2014 f150. There are no videos covering this year of Ford. The written instructions were OK but the pictures truly are worthless, all you can see is a white stick pointing at some black object in a black picture.
Do not attempt to install these mounts by yourself on a 2014 ford f150, there isn't enough room and you don't have enough hands.
I wasted 3 hours trying to install the drivers side by myself and gave up. With my beautiful assistants help we were finally able to install the drivers side in 45 minutes. The passenger side too 45 minutes as well to install.
Once again the product looks good and arrived in great shape. Time will tell how it performs.

Very happy with the tie downs ,worked really good for a secure tie down,

The TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs were a breeze to install. We traveled over 8,000 miles and never had an issue. So easy to install and remove the ends when you use them. When removed, you can hardly see the frame mounted sections. Great product, especially when used with the Torklift FastGun turnbuckles.

Same as fronts; quick shipment. Instructions easy to follow, exact fit for my F150
by: Michael03/28/2020
VERY helpful phone staff. VERY fast delivery.
After ordering the wrong part from a different site and banging my head trying to figure out why I couldn't install my tie downs, etrailer was very helpful and quick in getting the right ones for my truck. And then, installation was ez-pz.

The units appeared to be well made and were nicely painted. I installed them on my F150. The tools and hardware supplied were of good quality and installation was straight forward. Two people would have been great, but I was able to install both sides in a little less than an hour. The holes all line up very well. I like these better than the previous units I had on my 2013, as they do not stick out as far - so less noticeable. The extension arms come out at a very nice angle just under the body. I find these units with quality I expected and I think they will be highly functional in attaching my camper.
by: Dot07/15/2022
I had the mountings professionally attached to the frame. The hatches can be easily removed when not in use( and I would recommend that to keep them from being stolen). Using chains and turnbuckles, I feel very comfortable with my truck camper staying where it is.. does not rock, very solid.
It’s nice to feel secure about my camper staying firmly attached.
It was worth the investment.
by: Matt 03/30/2023
They do exactly what you think they'd do. I actually had to swap them from one truck to another (went from an double cab to a crew cab) and TorkLift actually sent me a whole new hardware kit. The hardest part is fishing the bolt/nut setup on the driver's side as the gas can is in the way, other than that it's easy peasy.
by: Charles 12/21/2022
A little tougher to install than the front ones but not too bad. Torklift tie downs are very well made, tried he bumper attached one but I guess bumpers aren't what they used to be I saw bending at the tie down after one trip. So bought these. Entrailer as usual priced well and fast shipping.
by: Brian04/12/2024
The product was easy to install, a bit awkward with only one person on the front tie downs but if you had an extra set of hands then that problem would be solved.
The top bolt hole on the front passenger side was out by about 1/8" but I resolved that by being able to get a drill on the inside of the frame and drilling through that way to allow the bolt to go through both truck frame and tie down. If it had been on the driver's side then it may have been an issue with the gas tank in the way. All is now installed and ready to go,

Tommy C recommended the TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs. The Instructions are great and very easy to follow. They supply some cool wire helpers to hold bolts in the frame for you. All went very smoothly and a very secure. I love how solid the Camper feels on the truck.
