Hi. This spring I purchased my very first truck camper. It was only $100 and I promise to post some pics once it is on the truck. I drive an 01 f250 super duty crewcab / shortbed. The camper is an older 8' and it extends to halfway on the tailgate. I used big ratchet straps to get it home. The truck handled it great and there was no discernible swaying or movement. That being said, I do want a proper tie down system for the truck so that a) I'm not creating diamonds in my shorts while travelling, and b) the setup doesn't look so hillybilly.
My question for you experienced truck campers is: will the Happijac system work ok or is Torklift the only way to go? Keeping in line with my $100 purchase price, I've been looking for a Craigslist set of tie downs, as new Torklifts are north of $400 just for the fronts here in Vancouver.
Thanks for any feedback.
