If you set up your counter and dinette with items you frequently use, everything has to be stowed before driving off. If we are staying somewhere more than a couple of nights and need the truck to get around, it works better for us to unload. If the truck is going nowhere, there is no reason to unload.
Stacking stabilizer jack stands will fit in the front corners of the truck bed if you load them before the camper. Most campers do not leave enough gap when loaded to access these pockets. I use 4x6 blocking instead of jacks since they serve more than one purpose.
Thanks. Good point about having to stow the inside as well as hookups. I didn't think about that. So this is another advantage of a truck camper or trailer rather than a Class A or Class C (and another reason why people with an A or C tow cars).
Sure, if you are staying a while I can see it is better to unload.
When you say 4x6 blocking. Do you mean that you can lower the camper to 6" from the ground so it is sitting on the block? If so, that sounds very easy and very stable, but I would be surprised if the camper can be that low to the ground.
Also, are you talking about a 4x6 piece of wood, or maybe a cinder block, or maybe some accessory specifically made for blocking?
What other purpose do you use the 4x6 blocking for?
