Thanks for the clarification. Looks like it's going to be cam buckle for me. To hold down storage container onto a rear mounted cargo carrier. 👍

Taking a 8-hour trip down from Georgia to Florida. I have a pop-up tent that I want to mount on my Buick SUV that has crossbar roof rack which is the better strap to use for that type of pop-up tent. Thank you!

Would love for someone knowledgeable to also provide an answer for this!

I'm in the market for a hitch mounted cargo rack. I will mount it on my Roadtrek to move some of my belongings out-of-state. Do you have any recommendations?

[@R.I.PXXX999]

I didn't know there was a difference I use both when hauling

Great frig in review.

I need a strap to tie down my luggage to the back rack of my motor cycle. It looks like cam bukle will work.

Good morning, What's the best straps to use to stationary furniture in a moving truck?

[@etrailer]

Does the truck have e-track on the sides? If so, we'd recommend something like # e79HR for a 12-ft or # e29HR for a 20 footer. Be sure to wrap your furniture in a moving blanked or use some foam rubber to pad the corners so the strap doesn't rub against the finished surface. If it just has the wooden rub strips, something like # e94BR would work well.

Cams dont hold

[@etrailer]

For heavier loads, that's absolutely true.
