Camper squeaking now

GENERAL DISCUSSION
1

We’ve had our 2.5gen camper on our 2gen Tacoma for a few weeks and have spent at least 7 trouble free nights in it.

After driving a very rough dirt road into a dispersed campsite, we climbed into the tent and noticed that the camper itself would squeak when we moved around in the tent.

Back at home, no squeaking.

We are certain that the squeaking comes from the camper frame and not the Tacoma suspension. When we rocked the Tacoma from outside the tent, no squeaking.

Any ideas?

I’d start by checking the torque on all 4 bed clamps. The new billet clamps are meant to be torqued to 40 ft-lbs and recommended to be checked after the first 500 miles. It uses a 5/16” allen key. Cheers!

Are you using the mantis claw ladder mounts?

I find those squeak bad between the mount the the tent connectors. I added some rubber mastic on mine to quiet it down.

Yep. I will check that out.
