At Torklift International, we are dedicated to enhancing the adventure experience for truck camper owners and outdoor enthusiasts.

This cutting-edge product is set to revolutionize how you secure your truck camper, providing unparalleled stability and security.

The ApexAnchors Payload Anchor Advantage

The ApexAnchors Internal Frame-Mounted Payload Anchor system is designed specifically for truck camper owners with campers that have internal anchor points. Brands such as Scout, Cirrus, Four Wheel Campers, and Travel Lite will benefit immensely from this new system. Instead of mounting these truck campers to the cargo anchor points installed to the truck bed by the truck manufacturer, which are inadequate for long-term, heavy-duty use, our payload anchors mount directly to the truck's frame which is the strongest part of the truck. This allows for increased stability that will minimize camper shift during transit, which can cause irreversible damage to your truck and camper. Excess stress on your camper to lead to loss of structural integrity of your camper roof.

Why Upgrade from Cargo Anchor Points?

Standard cargo anchor points, provided by truck manufacturers, are intended for light and temporary use – such as hauling a playground set home from Home Depot or a dresser you picked up from a garage sale. These points are usually not weight-rated and are installed directly onto the truck bed (made of aluminum, plastic, or composite), which is not designed to bear significant, dynamic loads over prolonged periods. In contrast, Torklift's maximum payload anchor point system offers heavy-duty anchor points bolted directly to the truck's frame and are designed to haul the payload capacity of your truck. This ensures they can handle substantial loads with a high center of gravity, like a truck camper, providing a secure and reliable connection.

Key Features of the ApexAnchors System

  1. Concealable Design: The ApexAnchors Payload Anchor System is designed to be as concealed as possible. They are retractable when not in use, allowing your truck bed to maintain maximum functionality.
  2. Unbeatable Payload Capabilities: These heavy-duty payload anchor points are bolted directly to the truck frame (the foundation of the truck) allowing you to haul heavy, dynamic loads without fear of damaging the standard factory cargo anchor points. Each payload anchor point is rated for up to 2,000 lbs.
  3. Enhanced Stability: Our innovative internal payload anchor solution connects through the truck bed directly to the frame, offering solid and dependable anchor points for your truck camper, preventing camper shift which can cause damage to your camper roof.
  4. TRUE Frame-Mounted Design: This payload anchor design passes through the bed and is bolted directly to the frame, the foundation of the truck. It does not rely on the truck bed, which is limited in capability due to its plastic, composite, or thin metal construction.
  5. Easy Installation: The ApexAnchors Payload Anchor system features a straightforward installation process, allowing you to set up your truck camper quickly and efficiently. The simple, bolt-on design ensures you spend less time installing and more time on the road or off it.

Why you should upgrade your RV steps to the GlowStep Revolution

The GlowStep Revolution® are the only RV step upgrade that are custom designed for RV towables. Let me tell you why!

Infinite Adjustability

The GlowStep Revolution® step system is the only aftermarket RV step that offer you infinite adjustability. 
Turn GlowStep Revolution into a ladder
This RV step upgrade is an accordion designed step that lets you extend the steps fully at 48”. But what happens when you are parked in a confined area like a storage unit or a tight camping site? You don’t have to worry with the GlowStep Revolution. An accordion design means you can extend them in as little as 6” with a ladder deployment – no more getting stuck outside of your trailer when you are in a tight spot!

The Torklift GlowStep Revolution is also equipped with our All-Terrain Landing Gear. This easy-to-use, adjustable foot mechanism allows you to adjust each foot independently of one another, so that your steps remain solid and level on any surface. 
Unlike any other RV step on the market, the GlowStep Revolution step system has three points of adjustment at the top step. Utilize any of the three top step positions to ensure that your steps remain level despite angled or sloped terrain. 

Unparalleled Stability

This RV step system features SureGrip step tread that eliminates jagged holes that are commonly found on factory steps making the steps extremely stable for you but also ensuring safety and comfort for your dogs!
Similar to the steps in your home, these RV steps also have a 7.5” riser height – perfect for kiddos or those with limited mobility!

Only to be improved with accessories

We offer a variety of accessories to add to the usability of the GlowStep Revolution! 
  • The GlowGuide handrail is easily installed for an added layer of safety.
  • The SafeStep panels close of the vertical gaps between the steps to help kids and dogs walk up and down the steps safely.
  • The DirtDestroyer lets you dust off dirt and grime from your shoes before entering your RV to keep it nice and clean.
