What i have done with success is open the tailgate and attach the suspension to one of the tailgate suspension anchors...they are designed to hold quite a bit of weight

Thanks for the great ideas but I lucked out. The rain caused cancellations at the campground so I found the only free site with 2 trees. It was meant to be for my first hang. Sniffle sniffle.
Interesting solution.
Another option might be a bipod made of two timbers to manage the sway and then secure it over the downed tree. Something like this but a little more heavy duty. (Pretty lady not included)
Hammock hanging with one tree?

Even though BigFitz is no longer looking for a solution.. here's another alternative.
I have hung from a single tree before. It just so happened to have two large branches about 90* from each other, about 7 feet up.
Do it all the time. Hood up to a telephone pole and truck, palm tree and truck. Use the holes in the corners of the bed of the pick up. No worries. I am 270. Corner fence post and my truck. Often at the beach me and a buddy will hook to one tree and each end of the truck. Also have used the replacement bumper on the front of my truck to attach too. Have had 6 hammocks attached to my truck at one time.
