It’s important to use turnbuckles that are spring-loaded to allow some give when your vehicle encounters uneven roads. We at Torklift strongly recommend using the spring-loaded turnbuckles that bolt easily to all four points of the camper. The spring design acts as a shock absorber protecting the anchor points on your new slide on camper. The Basic SpringLoad Kit includes two quick links, two heavy-duty forged steel turnbuckles and 60 cm of marine grade chain to help keep your slide on camper attached to your anchor points.

This is because of their quick-disconnect handle which makes adjustment extraordinarily fast and convenient.

What’s also really awesome about the FastGun is that it’s made from stainless steel and is high-impact powder coated to keep it from rusting. There are also FastGun locks that we have made specifically to prevent your camper and the investment you’ve made in it from being stolen.

There are two sizes available with these quick disconnect turnbuckles: long range FastGuns are made for 63.5 cm – 109.2 cm and short range FastGuns are made for 36.8 cm – 54.6 cm.
