Camper Tie Downs at Calgary Hitch Shop
Whether you’re heading into the mountains for the weekend or planning an extended RV adventure, properly securing your truck camper is essential for safe travel. At Calgary Hitch Shop, we supply and professionally install premium camper tie downs in Calgary from trusted manufacturers like Torklift and Billis. We can also custom fabricate solutions for unique applications, install camper wiring, and supply the chains and turnbuckles needed to complete your setup.
Because every truck and truck camper combination is different, our team will help you choose the right system for your specific vehicle, ensuring a secure fit and dependable performance wherever the road takes you.
What Are Camper Tie Downs?
A camper tie-down is a vehicle-specific mounting system that securely fastens your truck camper to your pickup truck. Rather than relying solely on the truck bed to support the camper, tie-downs create reinforced attachment points between the truck and camper, helping minimize movement while driving.
Whether you’re travelling on highways, gravel roads, or uneven terrain, properly installed camper tie downs in Calgary help keep your camper stable during acceleration, braking, cornering, and rough road conditions.
Because every truck is built differently, camper tie-down systems are designed specifically for your vehicle’s make, model, and year to make sure all fits appropriately and for safe weight distribution.
The Benefits of Proper Camper Tie Downs
Investing in a professionally installed tie-down system helps protect both your truck and your camper while improving your overall driving experience.
Benefits include:
- Improved vehicle stability and handling during your trip
- Reduced camper movement during travel
- Better weight distribution across your truck’s frame
- Less stress placed on the truck bed
- Reduced risk of damage caused by shifting loads
- Increased confidence when travelling over uneven roads
- Vehicle-specific fitment for maximum safety
When properly installed, your camper becomes an extension of your truck instead of a load that can shift while travelling.
Tie Downs We Carry
At Calgary Hitch Shop, we carry a wide range of tie downs from some of the top manufacturers like Billis and Torklift:
Torklift Camper Tie Downs
Torklift is one of the most recognized names in the truck camper industry and is known for producing premium frame-mounted tie-down systems.
Unlike some systems that rely primarily on the truck bed, many Torklift tie-downs mount directly to the truck frame itself, which creates a much stronger and more stable connection while helping reduce stress on the truck itself.
Why Choose Torklift?
- Heavy-duty frame-mounted designs
- Vehicle-specific engineering
- Excellent stability on rough roads
- Durable powder-coated finishes
- Removable inserts on many models for a cleaner appearance when not in use
Compatible with Torklift’s industry-leading FastGun turnbuckles
Torklift systems are an excellent choice for truck camper owners who regularly travel long distances or venture onto backroads and uneven terrain.
Billis Camper Tie Downs
Billis has built a reputation for manufacturing dependable camper tie-down systems designed to fit a wide variety of truck applications.
Their products provide secure attachment points while offering a practical solution for many truck camper owners. If your vehicle requires a specialized installation, Calgary Hitch Shop can also custom fabricate components to ensure a safe, reliable fit.
Whether your truck is new, older, or uniquely equipped, we’ll help determine the right Billis solution for your application.
Turnbuckles
The Final Piece of Your Camper Tie-Down System
A tie-down system is only as good as the connection between the truck and camper. That’s where turnbuckles come in.
Turnbuckles connect your camper directly to the tie-down mounting points while maintaining the proper amount of tension during travel.
At Calgary Hitch Shop, one of our most popular options is the Torklift FastGun Turnbuckle.
FastGun Turnbuckle Features
- Quick connect and disconnect in seconds
- Built-in tension indicators for proper adjustment
- Spring-loaded design that absorbs road shock
- Stainless steel construction for long-lasting durability
- Sold in convenient two-packs
Spring-loaded turnbuckles help absorb movement when travelling over rough roads, protecting both your camper and your truck from unnecessary stress.
