I don’t always, but did recently when we visited Acadia NP in Maine. We used the truck to get around in the park, and of course to go get a lahbstah dinner in Bah Hahbah each evening. :B

If you look closely, you’ll see that I used my load-guide ropes to help me get back under the camper easily. I also made a mark on each jack leg with a grease pencil before I lowered it down so I’d know when it was up high enough to clear the bed. The spot where the camper is sitting was pretty level, but not perfect so the legs were extended different lengths. The approach to the camper rolled off downhill, so the truck angle changed quite a bit as it moved under the camper. The load guide ropes made the process very easy, as I only had to watch the rear tire relationship to the ropes.
Here’s a link to a topic I posted describing their use.
