Do you remove your camper from the truck while camping?
I'm curious, home many of you take the camper off the truck at the campsite? If so, any tricks or concerns?

I'm camping right now (today) with it off, full time, and unless I have a reason, camper stays on truck. It's just me so climbing in and out of truck to load it can be a PITA to get it just right.
My biggest concern is the wind blowing when I put it back on. I have a "high flatbed" and the jacks are close at 1-2" max'd out on level. I use 2" blocks to give a little more "Clearance Clarence" but gets a little wiggly at that height.
All that to say, I'll keep in on... less hassel and doesn't really make a big difference to me. View is better on the truck. If in a quiet forested area, probably take it off, easier to get into it.
You say you are camping right now with it off, then you say you keep it on.

I have a reason....
Yes, you are right, it is off... 95% of time it is "On"... occasionally, I do remove it.. and that can change tomorrow.
Luckily, I'm not restricted and can change when I want. I just came back from a 10-day 'visit' from a Hospital and need the truck to go the 100+ miles for follow ups. Thus the 5% off. I still have to reload it for the 7-day Dump & Fills and if done with the Doc trips, I'll leave it on.
Hope that clarifies it.
