Bowen Customs Quick-Release Brackets
Roam Lab teams up with Brent Bowen and his crew to design and install one-of-a-kind Bowen Customs Quick Release Brackets. These two-part jack mount points included a discrete mounting plate that is permanently attached to the truck camper wing and a removable jack mounting bracket that slides into the mount plate when needed. This heavy duty stainless steel combo was designed and fabricated by the Bowen Customs team and allows us to easily mount and unmount the truck camper when needed and stow away the jack points when not.
How to Trim Truck Camper Turnbuckles
Turnbuckles are a common tie-down method to secure a truck camper to the truck bed. However, our old turnbuckles were too long for our new tiedown system. Fortunately, it's relatively easy to trim the turnbuckles so that they are short enough for our new system. In this article, we'll be discussing what turnbuckles are, why we trimmed them, how to do it yourself, and some tips on using turnbuckles safely and effectively.
