RE: Front Trailer Hitch to move camper
https://i.imgur.com/wTlDgxfl.jpg
I have a similar problem so I bought a Curt front hitch for my F150. I did my own mounting to the frame as the Curt system using the fish wire didn't seem very robust. I also bought a drop ball hitch, inverted it, and clearanced it for my license plate. I think I'm about 800 lbs tongue weight, you can see it collapses the suspension quite a bit
RE: How to add support to my Short Queen?
Forget the topper. Just get a new Zinus short queen via Amazon.
Great advice! We did this with the 10" Zinus. Best investment we've done. Do this.
RE: Trailer safety chain hooks and F150
I'll chime in here, I have the same issue with my 2016 F150. I ended up getting caribiners to add to the end of my chain link and use them to attach to the truck. I think they are 7/16" diameter so it's tensile strength is plenty high. They still require a little rotation and twisting but it's better than the safety chain hooks. Also they added just enough length. I think I bought them at Lowe's but maybe got them from Amazon.
