Camper Hold Downs

Going to purchase a 9 to 10.5 ft camper soon, looking now
for a good frame mount hold down system to hold it secure.
Does anyone use a system that they would like comment on?

Secure? Yes.

Tork-lift.

Comment: Excellent System. Worth the effort to find and install.

Peace

Tork lift is the way to go. Easy install, and virtually undetectable when the camper is off.

Torklift is the way to go! Check them out at www.torklift.com
I have an early model system from them that didn't come with the spring loaded ends (althought I can add them if I want). I just use spring loaded turnbuckles. I have a very heavy 12 footer I haul and I've gone on extremely rough roads on BLM land with no problems.

You can also read a lot about campers in the slide-in forum over at www.irv2.com .
