??? about TC on truck 24/7

Not sure if this is ok or not. I have a crew cab dully truck, and the tc is 4500lbs. If I leave it on the truck sitting all year with jacks down, I lift the tc up half way to lighten it a bit. will it still hurt the springs? or wear it out? I take the truck and camper to work once a week or once every two weeks, just to run it.
some guys here on this tc forum has their camper on all year but uses it.
like to have the tc on the truck ready to go when I decide to use it at the last min.
any thoughts?

  • It doesn't hurt the truck nor camper. Best comparison is guys with utility beds on their truck with 1500lbs of tools in it. Those beds aint light and stay on the truck for the majority of its life
  • If I were going to leave my camper on 24/7 I think I would also jack it up to keep weight off of the tires/suspension. Bit, if you drive it once a week, I wouldn't worry about it. That's my .02
