      We are planning to purchase our first TC between July & October, in the mean time I have purchased and installed the TorkLift tie downs on my truck (not without some trials and tribulations, but done) and will be purchasing the Torklift Fast Guns just prior to making the purchase. My next project is to get the Torklift Stableload and install it and also to purchase a DeeZee rubber bed mat to go over my sprayed in bed liner. Thanks for this forum and website, learning lots.

      Sounds like you’re well on your way to being ready. What kind of camper are you looking at and what truck do you have?

      Good luck on deciding your truck camper. I am looking to purchase a TC within the net year myself.

      Thank you. We have looked at the Eagle Cap 1165 & the Host Mammoth and leaning towards the Eagle Cap 1165. Our truck is a 2015 Ram Big Horn 3500 TD DRW with the Aisin tranny & 3:73 gearing.

      Good luck, Bruce. Looks like you’re going to be well prepared for your camper. But I would wait on the Stableloads until you buy your camper first. You may not need them. See if your truck squats with your camper mounted. If it does, then get some Stableloads, Timbrens or whatever.

        That sounds like good advice Mike, appreciate it. Will do just that.
