Thanks, I am going to a quote on it this morning to get it fixed. If its crazy expensive I'll do it myself. I own a small landscape and construction company and am slammed with work and need to get the camper off my truck asap.
The problem is how the hell do I get it off my truck with 3 workable jacks?
Not suggesting this is a GOOD idea, but way back when men smoked pipes and 4 legged campers were for wussies.....(tongue firmly in cheek, in sarcasm....) Campers had three leg jacks. Also, I've had my 10.5 foot Okanogan on three legs and not on particularly level ground, with a breeze going. Extra wiggle, sure. But didn't seem to be in danger of going over. So, if you've got the clenching muscle for it, might be fine unloading with the three. Just have someone with experience or trustworthy running around it, watching for the slightest contact. (Not my wife. Watching her try to give simple hand signals is like watching Jerry Lewis having a stroke AND an epileptic fit at the same time....) Once off, have said friend have a 2x4 wedged in the cabover/wall junction to help keep it balanced and have a premade lumber leg ready to wedge under there until repaired. Even a 2x4 temp screwed into the naked spot, wedged up snug to the cabover would probably be fine. But feel free to go overboard as far as you like to sleep at night..... :)
