Just got my new (to me) swift camper delivered today (SOOO STOKE). It fits on my 6' ford ranger absolutely perfectly... except... because it is really designed to go on a shorter bed there is no space to mount an eye bolt behind the wheel well, the bump outs are right up against them. I might be able to get an eye bolt in front of the wheel well, but if I did that in order to have my turnbuckles opposed the front and rear eye bolts would be like 2 inches apart.
so, it seems like external tie downs are kind of the only option for me. (I plan to remove it semi regularly so bolt down sounds rough) my question is: are the jack mount brackets an acceptable tie down point or do I need to install external tie downs points on the camper? Anyone installed external tie downs on a swift? any particular structural point I need to hit?
I will attempt to ask fwc the same question tomorrow, but I thought someone here might give me some extra help (god knows I need it)
