"When I bought my camper, the dealer recommended installing HappiJac tie downs and a Reese class 5 hitch. With no other options presented to me, I said go ahead. When HappiJac released their QuickLoad turnbuckles, I bought a set of those as well. I later found out that there not only was a competing product, but a better one made by Tork Lift. I installed the Tork Lift no drill, frame mounted tie downs, SuperHitch, SuperTruss, FastGuns turnbuckles (with locks), and the WobbleStopper.
Every one of these products has worked better than advertised. Loading has gone from 30 minutes to 15 and unloading from 20 to 10. My over 4000 lb. camper rides more solidly than it did with the HappiJac products. While driving with the old tie downs and turnbuckles, the camper would slide around up to two inches requiring that I readjust my turnbuckles. Since installing the Tork Lift system, the camper hasn’t moved at all. Also, the FastGuns not only seem to hold better, but are much easier to adjust after loading the camper on the truck. Since the FastGuns are so easy to use, I’m less hesitant to remove the camper from the truck in camp. When I’m not removing it, I no longer level the truck. I now just disconnect the FastGuns and level the camper using the jacks.
One of the reasons I own a truck camper is that I tow an 8000 lb. trailer behind it. My Reese hitch was considerably overloaded but my new Tork Lift hitch and 21” SuperTruss is rated to carry far more. In fact, not only is the SuperHitch strong enough for my current rig, but it will be strong enough for my trailer on a 48” extension when I upgrade my camper from a 9’6” to a 12’.
My only regret is that I didn’t buy Tork Lift from the beginning."

Warren S.
"I wanted to tell you how happy I am with the Fastguns. While traveling in Mexico I inadvertently drove over a speed bump ( called tope in Mexico) and my Bigfoot camper lifted up at least three inches from back to front. Without the Fastguns, I think for sure, there would be serious damage to either my camper or truck or both!!!"
David Hill, Saanichton, B.C.
A big Thank You for standing behind your camper “Fastguns”. We recently took our Dodge 3500 and Bigfoot camper to Mexico for 2 months. I don’t know if you are aware of how bumpy their roads are, we sure found out. I believe that without your Fastguns we would have really damaged our camper and our Ram truck. I was operating my unit with just the chain and turnbuckles, and was not a believer…..I sure am now! Not only did it save our tails but the camper travels much better on the open road. It is really quite noticeable. If any one is questioning the purchase of the Fastguns, please show them this letter.
Thanks for your product.
Sincerely,
Dick and Ann Tomlin, Victoria B.C.

"I want to thank you for the best piece of equipment I have ever installed.
My grandson and I installed the tie downs in less than 30 minutes. Everything fit so well. I have been buying RV parts for 30 years, this is the best
product I have ever bought."

"I would like to express my thanks for all Robin Harper and Gabe Aldea did for myself and new F-450.
I must have talked to Robin 10 or 12 times before coming to Kent. Also, she emailed me so many times after reviewing pictures of our truck. She sent detailed directions on how to get to your facility, all the way from Nashville, TN. Robin was so helpful in what I needed and made an appointment and then made sure it was done professionally. She told us places to stay and eat. But, when she offered us some wheels to get around in (the Izuzu wagon) that was great. Sandra and I will never forget how nice and professional everyone was to us.
I will do all I can to let others know on the different RV web sites I visit often.
We know you are proud of your product and your people. We are.
Thanks again for everything."

Letter from a Camper Manufacturer
"S & S Manufacturing has been using Tork Lift products since 1999. Tork Lift has become our camper tiedown of preference and has become our most asked for camper tiedown system. S & S trucks use Tork Lift tiedowns and receivers. On our larger model campers, Tork Lift's double tube extension allows the towing of large trailers without exceeding weight ratings. It has filled a real hole in the market with a quality product."

"Installed your Tiedowns on our new Ford 350 to hold our AlpenLite camper. While going down Interstate 90 in Minnesota we experienced a cross wind blowing so hard I thought we were going to tip over. After getting off at the exit and stopping for gas, we found out there were tornado warnings. Glad we had the tie downs -- they performed great the whole trip."

"Received my Tork Lift Tie Downs and installed them. I have had different tie downs over the years but none like the Tork Lift. The Tork Lift tie downs are superior to any tie downs I have seen. They are easy to install and are not in the way when the camper is not on the truck.
I truly want to thank you for advertising in Trailer Life. Otherwise I would still be looking for a tie down system for my new Ford F350 2002 truck."
Many thanks,
William S. Little

Many of our outside sales representatives, as well as our dealers' vehicles, have been fitted with both the Superhitch and their frame mount camper tie-downs. We have been very happy with the performance and high quality of these Tork Lift products."

Letter from a Dealer
"Good Chevrolet has had experience with and strongly recommends the use of the Tork Lift frame mounted camper tie down system for safely anchoring truck/campers on all General Motors trucks. Their system does not require drilling the truck frame in most applications. The kit is fully frame mounted (not attaching to the sheet metal truck box) and is available in "spring loaded" configuration at all four anchor points to eliminate camper anchor damage. The Tork Lift system utilizes four (4) independently mounted receivers & inserts. There is no loss of ground clearance and it is virtually undetectable when not in use."
Sincerely,
Jim Curtiss

"Don't have a question, but your Tork Lifts are perfect. Installed them on my 3/4 ton 2000 Chevy, mounted a 8-1/2 ft angler, which is not that heavy, but there was no sway and I encountered some heavy winds. Good Product."
