    Be careful with these. Mine won't allow me to load or unload because they don't clear the jack stands. Installing these while your camper is in place but not lowered down is a nightmare!

    Thanks Old Man! This was the basic info I was looking for to refresh my memory.

    Enjoyed your video. I have a slide in 2010 FourWheel Hawk camper. I have installed it on a few 1/2 ton trucks, but just went to Chevrolet 2500hd truck. I got the idea of using the 7 pin trailer connector as you did, to avoid running wires from the battery of the truck to the camper. Love the idea that it is all plug and play, no wires to cut and splice on truck!

    I’m concerned about a fixed turnbuckle and the hook on the end if it loosens and bounces off. I have ordered a happyjack spring loaded type.

    Just ran across your video and I just put the brophy stake mount hold downs in my 21 silverado yesterday for my 1300lb Northstar popup. wondering after a year how you like them?

      Best thing I ever bought, no more setting up and taking down tents in the rain, no more cooking outside in bad weather, take down and setup is so easy, more videos to come on this subject. thanks for watching and commenting.

    Hey there, thanks for the info. Do you happen to know the pound rating on your turnbuckles?

    • @OldGuyoutdoors
      @OldGuyoutdoors  Рік тому

      No , but I didn't line them up real well, so I had to use whatever fit at the time, and I haven't taken the time to take it off and reset them.

      I still like the brophy mounts for my application, but I am not sure how well they would do with a full sized top heavy camper

      @@OldGuyoutdoors I'm getting a camper for a Tacoma but putting it on my ram 1500 hope that's small enough, it's a six pac t100.estimated 1000 pounds,I think the brophy will be temporary or a secondary mount until I get a frame mount system for offroading confidence

      My camper tips the scales at 1800 lb but when traveling most of the weight is below the top of the cab, i believe you will be fine, im not a "off roader" but I have been down some rough roads and they have held without moving or bending.
      Hope this helps
