I used the super struts tie downs on my setup as well, and I’m very satisfied knowing they aren’t going anywhere.
What are you using for the camper attachment points? You can make them out of angle iron with two or three bolts going through a plate inside and through the floor pack to the outside angle iron. Check out my post if you want some pics.

I currently went with a 4 1/2” bolts through the floor pack, although I will eventually do a more bombproof 2 plated system to lose the nut on the inside of the camper.

Wish I would have installed a deadbolt lock, while I had the door torn apart. I worry that my door will Houdini itself open while I am driving down the road. I do have a deadbolt laying around from when I remodeled my house.
Maybe I install the deadbolt into the door knob area I have now, and install a RV door latch instead?

Made a access panel with a key turn lock out of some left over Diamond plating I had. Porch light installed. Power converter face, cigarette adaptor, 2 USB ports, and a display to show my battery lvl. Thermostat, and master switch.
I am going to add an extra furnace duct out the face of this as well, to help disperse the heat to more places than my legs while I sleep.
You can also see my circular access ports for my front tie down area.
