After living in my camper (86 Keystone) for a couple of months it is time to put it back on my truck. The little bit of driving I have done the camper has been attached with some stake pocket tie downs because the camper came with external mounts installed on it. Not a big fan of the stake pocket tie downs as they seem a little rickety. I will likely take the camper off for a few months in winter and have a canopy on so the stake pocket mounts will have to come off.
Should I stick with the external mounts and install some Happi Jacs or go with the interior eyebolt and turn buckle set up? Pros? Cons?
I am leaning a little more toward internal to keep things a little cleaner and installing the happi jac system seems a little bit more complex, and maybe a bit more expensive.
If I go with the internal mounts I need to install eyebolts on my camper. After watching the eyebolt installation video it seems I would install those to my camper 18 inches or so in from the front and maybe 10 inches from the back my camper. That will give me some space to hit that 6 inch mark I got that from minute 1:55 of the video. Does that seem right?
