[QUOTE="NotMatt, post: 1521331, member: 15947"] After driving rigs with campers tied down with both styles, I have to say... I find the straddle/saddle bed mount style downright dangerous compared to frame tiedowns. With saddle style bed mounts, the camper and bed sways around a LOT. Frame tie-downs eliminate most if not ALL of the sway and isolate it to the suspension, which can be compensated for with airbags, stiffer springs, etc. Picture the amount of leverage that a large camper puts on the bed mounts if the camper is only tied down to the bed and not the frame. The rubber bushings have a lot of give when there's that much leverage pulling them up as the camper sways when you turn. I have the frame mounted torq-lift mounts. They are awesome. [/QUOTE]
