Just make sure your slide in in, keep the front a few inches higher than the back, and only do 2 front jacks and 2 rear jacks at a time, never all 4 at once when loading or unloading
Not sure I understand the first. Are you saying you shouldn't use the slide with the camper off the truck? Is that manufacturer dependent as it's done all the time with Arctic Foxes.
Same note for the last suggestion? We use all four jacks all the time, that is what the button is for. Is that not true for some TC's?
The slide should be kept in while loading and unloading. Once unloaded and stabilized, you can let the slide out.
I position my TC 2" high in the front and then use the "All 4" button to let the TC down while watching the rear jacks as one will always be slower than the other 3. I catch it up with the others and continue the process.
I took a 3/4" piece of plywood cut in to four 2' x 4' pieces with slots to make two "Exes" to place under the front and rear of the camper. Much easier to handle and store than pallets or barrels. I also place 4'6" 2"X8" boards across the "Exes" to provide even support.
