How Tight Should Camper Turnbuckles Be? 8 Steps to Making Sure Your Camper Stays Put (and You Don’t Lose Your Mind)

So, you've packed your camper, double-checked your route, and even remembered the marshmallows. But have you thought about your turnbuckles? Because if those aren’t set correctly, your camper might decide to start its own adventure... without you. After you've selected turnbuckles for your truck camper, it's crucial that the turnbuckles are installed and adjusted properly. Because, let's face it, nobody wants their camper to make a dramatic exit off the truck bed. A very important aspect of installing turnbuckles on a camper is applying the correct amount of tension. Proper tension on a turnbuckle is designed to correctly connect the truck camper tie downs to the truck camper anchor points and protect your camper and anchor points from damage.

How do you know how to find the proper tension on a truck bed camper turnbuckle?

Wondering how to find the perfect tension for your truck camper turnbuckle? Camper manufacturers recommend a precise 300 pounds of tension for securing your camper. Thankfully, you don’t need to become a human calculator. Just use our patented spring tension indicator with FastGun, SpringLoad XL, or AnchorGuard Derringer turnbuckles, and you’ll have the right tension without breaking a sweat.

If there’s not enough tension, you might just experience the thrill of losing your camper—or watching it do a little dance within the truck bed. And if there's too much tension? Well, you might as well start shopping for new anchor points. Torklift turnbuckles are spring-loaded to avoid any potential damage to tie downs or camper anchor points.

 Example of damage to camper anchor point

 

Avoid damage to your camper and truck by using spring-loaded turnbuckles with the proper amount of tension applied. Torklift’s patented spring tension indicator is a round O-ring used as a gauge to set your spring tension.

Follow these 8 easy steps to determine the correct turnbuckle tension with a Torklift International FastGun turnbuckle:

  1. Hang the FastGun truck camper turnbuckle upper hook from the camper anchor point.
  2. Adjust the threaded hook bolt so the bottom of it is approximately 1/2 inch above the tie down insert (The handle on the FastGun turnbuckle should be in closed position).
  3. Open the handle on the FastGun turnbuckle.
  4. Hook the bottom hook bolt into the tie down anchor point.
  5. Pull the lever handle down until you begin to feel spring tension. Hint: The hole for the snapper pin should be nearly blocked halfway.

  1. Adjust the round O-ring up against the bottom of the FastGun turnbuckle.
  2. Snap down the FastGun handle.
  3. Snapping the handle down should result in the round O-ring being spaced approximately 1/4 inch below the body of the FastGun turnbuckle.

Picture5

The ¼ inch space visible between the O-ring and the body of the turnbuckle indicates the internal spring within the turnbuckle is activated and compressed. You have now achieved the proper 300 pounds of tension.

Now that you’ve successfully secured the camper turnbuckles, avoid stolen turnbuckles by securing them with the FastGun turnbuckle locks. With a keyed-alike snap lock design, they come in a set of four and have weather caps to protect from debris. Because nothing says 'bad day' like discovering your perfectly tensioned turnbuckles are missing.

By following these 8 simple steps, your camper is now securely fastened and won’t be making any unscheduled exits from the truck bed. Enjoy your journey and remember, the only thing more fun than a secure camper is a secure camper with a lock on it. Because, let’s face it, the only thing worse than losing your camper is the look on your face when you realize it’s gone.

Introducing Torklift's ApexAnchors Internal Frame-Mounted Payload Anchor System: Elevate Your Truck Camper Experience

At Torklift International, we are dedicated to enhancing the adventure experience for truck camper owners and outdoor enthusiasts. We are thrilled to announce the launch of our latest innovation—the ApexAnchors Internal Frame-Mounted Payload Anchor system paired with newly design turnbuckles. This cutting-edge product is set to revolutionize how you secure your truck camper, providing unparalleled stability and security.

Camper on truck

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?

Comparison Anchors RED Jack 2

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.

Apex Anchor In use

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.

Enhance Your Boondocking Experience with the Torklift PowerArmor Lithium Battery Box for Bambi Airstream Trailers

Are you considering upgrading your Bambi Airstream trailer to lithium batteries? If so, it's crucial to ensure that your battery box is up to the task of housing these advanced power sources. The Torklift PowerArmor Lithium battery box, specifically designed to accommodate the needs of lithium batteries in Airstream trailers like the Bambi series, and is a must-have for staying powered up while on the road.

Why Upgrade to Lithium Batteries?

Before we discuss the benefits of the PowerArmor Lithium battery box, let's briefly touch on why upgrading to lithium batteries is advantageous for your Bambi Airstream trailer. Lithium batteries offer several compelling benefits over traditional lead-acid batteries, including:

  1. Longer Lifespan: Lithium batteries typically last much longer than lead-acid batteries, with some models boasting a lifespan of up to 10 years or more.
  2. Higher Energy Density: Lithium batteries pack more energy into a smaller and lighter package compared to lead-acid batteries, making them ideal for RV applications where space and weight are at a premium.
  3. Faster Charging: Lithium batteries can accept charge at a faster rate than lead-acid batteries, allowing you to recharge your batteries more quickly, especially when coupled with advanced charging systems.
  4. Deeper Discharge Capability: Lithium batteries can be discharged to a much lower state of charge than lead-acid batteries without causing damage, giving you access to more usable capacity.

The Benefits of the Torklift PowerArmor Lithium Battery Box

Now that we understand the advantages of upgrading to lithium batteries, let's explore why the Torklift PowerArmor Lithium battery box is the perfect companion for your Bambi Airstream trailer:

  1. Rugged Construction: The PowerArmor Lithium is built to withstand the rigors of RV travel. This battery box provides superior protection for your valuable lithium batteries against road debris, impacts, and the elements.
  2. Integrated Locking Mechanism: Security is paramount when it comes to protecting your investment. The PowerArmor Lithium features an integrated lock to secure your batteries and deter theft, providing peace of mind whether you're on the road or parked at a campsite.
  3. Ventilation and Drainage: Proper ventilation and drainage are essential for maintaining the health and performance of your lithium batteries. The PowerArmor Lithium is designed with ventilation louvers and a built-in drain to ensure adequate airflow and prevent the buildup of moisture, prolonging the life of your batteries.
  4. Easy Installation: Installing the PowerArmor Lithium is a breeze, thanks to its user-friendly design and compatibility with standard battery box mounting systems. With minimal tools and effort, you can upgrade your battery box and start enjoying the benefits of lithium power in no time.

Upgrading your Bambi Airstream trailer to lithium batteries offers numerous advantages in terms of performance, longevity, and convenience. However, it's essential to pair your lithium batteries with a high-quality battery box that can provide the protection and security they deserve. The Torklift PowerArmor Lithium battery box excels in these areas, offering rugged construction, integrated security features, proper ventilation, and customizable fitment to ensure optimal performance and peace of mind on your RV adventures.

Exploring the Versatility and Applications of the C2215 TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs

The C2215 TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs present a revolutionary solution for truck owners who cherish safety, stability, and aesthetics while hauling campers. Designed specifically for a range of GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado models, these front tie-downs exemplify the perfect blend of functionality and design. In this article, we delve into the myriad applications and benefits of the C2215, highlighting why they are an essential accessory for your truck and camper setup.

 C2215a

Enhanced Safety and Stability

At the heart of the C2215's design is the commitment to safety and stability. By mounting directly to the frame of the truck, these tie-downs provide a secure connection point for your camper. Unlike bed-mounted systems, the frame-mounted C2215 lowers the camper's center of gravity and distributes weight evenly across the truck bed. This design minimizes the risks associated with top-heavy loads, such as swaying and instability in strong winds. For truck owners who frequently travel with their campers, this means a more comfortable and safer ride, devoid of the usual worries about shifting loads.

Invisible When Not in Use

Aesthetics play a crucial role in the design of the C2215. Understanding that truck owners value the appearance of their vehicles, TorkLift has engineered these tie-downs to be almost invisible when not in use. The removable arms allow for a seamless look, ensuring that the tie-downs do not detract from the truck's appearance. This feature is particularly appealing to those who use their trucks for both recreational and everyday purposes.

Custom Fit and Easy Installation

The C2215 tie-downs are custom-made for specific truck models, ensuring a perfect fit without the need for drilling or modifications. This bespoke design means that they use pre-existing holes in the truck's frame, simplifying installation and preserving the integrity of the vehicle. Compatibility with a wide range of GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado models, from 2011 to 2019, makes these tie-downs a versatile choice for many truck owners.

c2215b

Securing the Camper

To secure the camper, the C2215 requires turnbuckles (sold separately), which attach to the tie-downs. The adjustable design of the tie-down arms allows for a precise fit, ensuring that the turnbuckles can reach the camper's anchors without contacting the truck. This adjustability is crucial for maintaining a secure hold and preventing any movement or sliding of the camper during transit.

Compatibility and Warranty

The C2215 is not only a testament to TorkLift's commitment to quality but also to their confidence in the product. With a lifetime warranty, truck owners can rest assured of the durability and reliability of these tie-downs. The extensive compatibility list, covering a range of GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado models, underscores the tie-downs' versatility and wide-ranging application.

Conclusion

In summary, the C2215 TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs offer an unparalleled combination of safety, aesthetics, and ease of use. For the avid camper or the occasional adventurer, these tie-downs are an indispensable addition to their truck. They ensure a stable, secure, and stylish solution to hauling campers, making every journey with your home-away-from-home a smooth and enjoyable experience.

JKWilson shares his experience with his Glowstep Revolution!

A really enjoyable upgrade to my 303RLS. New Steps!

Earlier this year I installed a set of Torklift Glowstep Revolution® steps in place of the three step factory steps. These are my thoughts about the installation and how big of an upgrade they really were after 5 trips using them.

First, why? The factory steps were free hanging, and had the diving board bounce when going up and down. My knees would hurt after maintenance, winterization, packing, unpacking or cleaning when I had to go in and out of the rig a lot. My wife has depth perception problems, and she had to go down the old steps very gingerly because she couldn't tell where the next step was.

I'm happy to say the Glowsteps took care of both problems for us. With legs on the ground, there is no diving board spring going on, and the steps are much more visible when descending, especially in the dark when they glow. They actually fixed another problem I hadn't even thought about. Going up or down the factory steps tends to shake the trailer pretty good. Since the Glowsteps are supported by the ground on the end, there is much less trailer shaking.

Here they are in use at the KOA in Oscoda, MI

GlowStep Revolution at the KOA in Oscoda MI

Level and easy site and they were smooth as silk.

Here's a little rougher setting. I had just pulled the trailer out of the barn. It was on a side hill in the drive, and the grass slopes off even more.

GlowStep Revolution handles a wide range of site conditions.

Still handles it easily.

What's good about them? They handle a wide range of site conditions. They are stable. They install easily in the factory step well. They don't fold inside the door dragging dirt in, they fold into the factory step well. They can be deployed or stored with something close to the camper.

What might you not like about them? Deploying them takes just a bit more thought than folding down the simple factory steps. You have three upper adjustment positions and the two legs to get things just right, but it doesn't have to be perfect for a quick stop for lunch or a bathroom break.

Torklift has a great diagram on their site describing how the adjustment works:

GlowStep Revolution adjustments

The three upper positions set the overall height of the steps, and then the legs adjust to handle the ground. It's very fast once you've done it a couple of times.

My trailer floor level is right at the threshold for 3 steps or 4 steps. I initially got the 3-step model, but after installation I could see that I needed another step. No problem to add a step to an existing set.

Speaking of installation. It's pretty easy. With two people it could probably done in 15 minutes. I did it by myself and it took just a little longer. Two carriage bolts in each end of the step well need to be removed to get the old steps out, and replaced to anchor the new ones. The only real challenge doing it solo was lifting the new steps into position while putting the bolts in. Being a part-time farmer, I'm used to dealing with stuff like that so I simply stacked wooden blocks and pieces of 2x10 until it was just below the correct height and used a pry bar for fine adjustment.

Here's the side of the step well with the old steps in place showing how easy it is to access the nuts to remove the bolts:

Side of the steps

And finally here are the steps raised into the step well with my cribbing. Note that it's the original three step configuration. Also note the hardware strewn around the floor after I kicked it and the antifreeze bottle I missed during my 10:30pm winterization last fall upon arrival home from our last trip with an overnight low forecast of 24F.

gs5

In short, these steps are a much appreciated upgrade and installation is well within the capabilities of most anyone.

I know I have a picture of the 4-step version folded, but I'm not finding it right now. I'll add it when I come across it or take another picture tomorrow. If anyone wants specific pictures or has any questions, I'll be glad to help if I can.

Can you put a bike rack on an airstream?

 Tailored Hitch Airstream

Can you put a bike rack on an airstream?

Yes you can! Our Tailored Hitch Airstream bike rack is a one time install that is sleek and custom made to for your Airstream.

As long as your frame width is the proper size, the trailer hitch will allow you to have 450 pounds of carry weight, allowing more storage space inside your trailer. This capacity allows a wide variety of bike carriers to be applied to your receiver hitch.

How do I carry my bike with an Airstream?

Once the rear hitch is on your Airstream, all that comes next is finding your preferred bike rack with a 2 inch receiver and using it!

Since the Airstream hitch uses a simple receiver design, it pairs with a simple receiver rack. No need to get a second bike rack for your Airstream; the one you have for your current vehicle is now able to crossover to your trailer hitch.

How do I install an Airstream bike rack?

First, you will need to identify the height of your trailer frame in order to make sure the you have the proper installation measurements.

After measuring twice and drilling once, you then install the frame plates provided to your frame. Lastly, you bolt your receiver hitch to your frame plates with the correct torque and you are good to go!

Can you put a trailer hitch on the back of an Airstream?

 Tailored Hitch Airstream

Absolutely. One major benefit of having a frame-mounted hitch for your Airstream is that you are utilizing the strongest structure of the trailer as support. The frame is built to last and withstand the harshest of conditions, which is why we wanted to utilize it for an Airstream hitch. Who would’ve guessed there was a bike rack hack built right into the main components of your Airstream?

Check out what Bob N. has to say about his GlowStep Revolution Uprising!

My wife and I were never very happy with the MORryde Step Above entry steps installed by the manufacturer on our fifth wheel. We felt that the MORryde product interfered with proper closure of the screen door and outer door when the steps were retracted. The steps are like a drawbridge when being deployed; requiring a lot of room. And because those steps are directly connected to the sill plate (of the steps), they require adjustment of the leg length virtually every time they are deployed. If the legs were too long, the door wouldn’t close. If the legs were too short, the steps were left dangling.

Enter the Torklift Glow Step Revolution® Uprising. This is the version of that step that fits inside the door when retracted. There is also a version of the steps that fits in the cutout under the door.

I removed the MORryde steps and installed with Torklift steps. We then embarked on a 5,000 mile, 5 week trip. The new steps got a good trial. We were very pleased with the results. The steps can be deployed where minimal space is available and where the vertical height of the ground is unusual. We make quite a few brief and temporary stops when towing. Rest stops, bathroom stops, grocery stores, Walmart; you name it. Because the Torklift steps are hinged at the sill plate of the steps, we found that we didn’t have a adjust the length of the legs every time we stopped. This turned out to be a very welcome benefit. Much more convenient. Here is a good example that occurred at a brief stop. Note the curb. I didn’t have to adjust a thing.

s001

The steps are nice looking and sturdy. We also appreciated that there is a step at nearly floor level; unlike the previous steps. This made entry and exit a more comfortable and confident process; especially with the dog in tow or a bag of groceries in the arms.

The Torklift steps were quite easy to install. The whole process took me two hours. That included gathering the needed tools, removing the previous steps, installing the Torklift steps, cleaning up, and putting away the tools. Here are a few photos of the process.

The old steps.

Steps  Steps  Steps
Installing the mounting bracket. It’s as simple as drilling 3 holes on each side of the door frame. It is important to mount to bracket at sill height and to get it perfectly level so that the steps clear the door frame when folded inside. I added some shims under the bracket to get the height right and to make sure the bracket was even with the sill on the trailer.

I am impressed with the quality of materials and workmanship. We feel this design has some real benefits.

StableLoad® Suspension Stabilizer

StableLoad Suspension Stabilizer

When someone starts truck camping for the first time, they may not be aware of what adding weight to the bed of a truck can do to the ride. It often makes the ride uneasy, unstable, and uncomfortable. By adding the StableLoad® suspension system to your truck, you are able to combat the many common truck camper suspension items like sway, body roll, porpoising, and more.

With the Quick-Disconnect lower StableLoad® suspension upgrades installed, you are able to disengage the product when you do not have a heavy load in the back of your truck. This is crucial in allowing your truck to ride comfortably when not carrying the truck camper. Alternative suspension upgrades do not have this feature and due to that, the alternative products give a stiff ride.

Super Hitch® and SuperTruss

If you are someone that will be towing behind your truck camper, you will need an extension in order to reach your hitch on the truck. We recommend the Torklift Super Hitch® and SuperTruss combo.

Super Hitch and SuperTruss

The Super Hitch® is offered in three different fitments:

  • Super Hitch® Hero 15K receiver – 15,000 lbs pull, 1,500 lbs tongue*

  • SUPER HITCH® 30K frame mounted receiver rated up to 30,000 lbs pull and 3,000 lbs tongue weight with weight distribution (20,000 lbs pull and 2,500 lbs tongue weight carrying) in either the upper or lower receivers (When used without SuperTruss extension). Extension towing capacity up to 12,000 lbs. with 48” SUPER HITCH® SuperTruss receiver extension†
  • SuperTruss Extensions available in 8 different lengths from 21” to 48” (Extensions available to 60") (Sold Separately)
