Truck camper products and accessories are the cornerstone of what we do

Just about every truck camper setup revolves around three basic components that are necessary for safe hauling.  No matter what the year, make and model of your truck camper and truck combination, you need to secure the camper to your truck and make sure your truck’s suspension stays level.

Here are the essential truck camper products you need:

Suspension

Truck camper suspension upgrades are a safety feature

It’s a common misconception that your average pickup truck rolls off the assembly line ready to haul a truck camper.  To the contrary, the added weight of your truck camper and all the supplies you load into it put your truck’s suspension to the test and can drastically alter its ability to drive safely. 

Before considering any aftermarket suspension upgrades to improve the drivability of your truck when equipped with your truck camper, always make sure the fully loaded weight of your camper is within your truck manufacturer’s weight ratings.  Check your owner’s manual to find the ratings. 

If you are unsure how to do this, be sure to contact a trusted full-service hitch and tow facility that specializes in the RV industry such as Torklift Central for assistance.    

StableLoad engaged on a leaf spring

The most affordable and cost effective truck suspension upgrade you can make is StableLoad suspension stabilizer – manufactured by Torklift International and available at Torklift Central.  By pre-loading your truck’s factory overload springs, StableLoad maximizes the hauling stability of your truck’s suspension as the vehicle manufacturers intended.  By doing so, StableLoad dramatically improves safety and handling, reduces side-to-side sway and body roll, and eliminates sag in the rear of your truck.   

We always recommend StableLoad suspension stabilizer as the first suspension upgrade folks should look into.  More often than not StableLoad is the only product you need to help your truck handle a significant load safely.

Tie Downs

Truck camper tie downs serve as the crucial connection point between your truck and truck camper.  Unlike other tie downs on the market that claim to mount to your truck’s frame but really mount to your truck bed and bumper, Torklift International manufactures TRUE Frame-Mounted Tie Downs.

Rear steel truck camper tie down from Torklift

Torklift’s patented design features four tie down anchor points that bolt directly into your truck frame to secure your truck camper in the most stable fashion possible. Better still, Torklift Tie Downs do not affect your ground clearance and are completely hidden when not use – simply remove the tie down insert and you would never know your truck is able to haul a truck camper at a moment’s notice.

Bed and bumper-mounted tie down systems are less stable. Not only do they cause white-knuckle driving when they allow your camper to flex and roll in your truck bed, they can also seriously damage your truck’s bed in the process. 

When Torklift’s TRUE frame-mounted Tie Downs are used with Torklift International’s fully spring-loaded turnbuckles they warranty your truck’s frame and camper anchor points for the entirety of the manufacturer warranty. 

Turnbuckles

Are you in need of a turnbuckle replacement?

Once your tie downs are secured to your truck’s frame you need to fasten your camper to the tie downs.

While effective, old-style turnbuckles require a great deal of exertion to tighten and release by hand.  Complicating matters further, calculating how tight turnbuckles should be is often times a guessing game.  Both over and under-tightened turnbuckles can cause turnbuckle breakage, damage to your truck camper anchor points and damage to the frame of your truck.

FastGuns:  the No. 1 selling quick-disconnect turnbuckle

To alleviate all of these issues, Torklift International manufactures FastGun turnbuckles – the best selling quick-disconnect turnbuckle in the world.  The FastGun is spring-loaded with spring tension indicators making it easy to set your turnbuckles to their proper tension without the guesswork.  Proper tension is 300 pounds of pressure on each camper tie down point.

Once your spring tension is set simply opening or closing the FastGun handle allows for easy installation and removal without the wrenching and strain required by many old-style turnbuckles. 

Lock your FastGuns in place with FastGun locks (sold separately).

FastGuns are designed to take all of the confusion and frustration out of installing and removing your turnbuckles.

While these three products are the basis for any truck camper setup, there are a number of additional truck camper parts and accessories that can help you Get Out And Go truck camping your way.  Take a look at the Torklift Central’s truck camper center online for our complete selection of truck camper products and services.
