Off-roading With camper

[Michealbraunstein]

Hi All,

I have recently took my ram truck for an offorading adventure with an camper behind but after going some distance in to the wild the camper tie down broke. what can i do in this kind of situation?

Bring one or even two spare tie downs and/ or at least some strong rope to make a field repair.

Cheers Brother.

oops...are you saying that you are looking for repair advice NOW??

Got baling wire ??

Bike inner tubes??

Duct tape reinforced shoe laces??

The list of potentially useful items is almost endless, but of course it depends on what YOU have with you that night work well enough to get you out??

I always carry about at least 4 good heavy duty ratchet straps and they are a great item to have around.

Take care when doin serious off reading, not many US campers are built for this and will fall to pieces in a short amount of time.
Consider to buy a camper that can withstand such abuse.

I had a four wheel aluminum framed camper.It held up over 15 years of off road camping.I had bolts going directly through the floor with relatively large plates.Never had an issue with the camper coming loose.Although it was a pain to load and unload with the 18.5x40 tires,since the camper was the same width as the truck bed and the flares to cover the tires were wider.Driving over the legs of the camper jacks-a bit sketchy

I couldn't agree more! This is what I'm currently considering : http://www.wrcamps.com/

Pricey but built to withstand off-roading.
