If you enjoy the truck camping lifestyle, it’s likely you’re familiar with the annoying movement of your camper when it’s offloaded from your truck. The camper wobble is not only discouraging to experience when inside the camper, but it can also put significant stress on your camper jacks and camper frame causing permanent damage to the RV over time.
There are two reasons you might unload your camper:
- Storage purposes, winterizing a camper
- Enjoying the campsite and using your truck for multiple activities
In both scenarios, the camper not only needs to be secured from the possibility of theft, but it also needs extra support to reduce wear on the areas where the jacks bolt to the camper. Excessive rocking motion, sway or wobble can greatly affect the camper frame and jacks to the point of failure.
Why can damage or theft happen to your camper?
#1 Lack of stability
#2 Stress on frame of camper
#3 Weak camper jacks
#4 Excessive chassis movement
#5 Non-existent security measures
Torklift International has designed a product to stabilize a truck camper and prevent the five causes of camper jack and frame damage. Avoid the need for costly repair or even replacement with Torklift International FastGun Wobble Stopper.

By acting as a supportive connection between the front camper jacklegs and camper body, prevent camper sway while the camper is sitting on its jacks. The FastGun Wobble Stopper nearly eliminates all camper movement, is fully adjustable and has square or round jack applications.
Made in America from high impact powder coated stainless steel and aircraft grade aluminum, the FastGun Wobble Stopper features a quick-disconnect lever style handle. This makes the simple DIY bolt on installation even easier and requires only seconds to install or remove.

When it comes to camper theft, the position of the FastGun Wobble Stopper prevents another vehicle from backing up and loading your camper. Keyed alike locks are provided to prevent a camper from being stolen.
With complaint of camper movement and worry of camper theft, Robert and Amy Taft installed the FastGun Wobble Stoppers on their camper.

“Now the truck camper feels well grounded and stable,” Robert explained. “There is no more shake and shimmy when one of us rolls in bed or gets up in the middle of the night.”
Robert is also very confident that the use of the Torklift International FastGun Wobble Stoppers will ultimately extend the life of the electric camper jacks because the constant “back and forth” movement has virtually been eliminated.
“At first, we didn’t see how such a simple design was going to stop all of the movement,” said Robert. “Once we installed them, we were amazed at how the minimal opposing pressure prevents movement. You can actually see and feel the camper stiffen up once you apply the lever.”
One of his favorite features is that when in stored position, the FastGun Wobble Stopper easily straps to the jack and does not require removal.
