I remember reading somewhere (probably on this forum) about someone’s full tanks dropping thru the bottom of the unsupported floor of their camper. So as a rule I never unload mine with anything substantial (more than a few gallons) in the tanks, that precludes it from being dropped at the campground, not a problem as we pull a toad everywhere we go, Also the fear of having a jack failure always lurks in the back of my mind, I know that’s not a common occurrence but I did have a jack system failure one windy night when I went to lower the jacks for added support and got no power to the jacks, turned out to be a loose ground under the sink but you get my point.
Also I’m not as expert at loading the camper as I would like to be and the thought of entertaining the campground as I attempt to load the camper one morning is not really appealing.
You're correct, I remember some of those posts. If I remember correctly, some of the earlier AF models had trouble when owners would fill the fresh tank too quickly. The plastic tank would build pressure and bulge and break the strap that supported the tank from below. I think this issue has been addressed by AF on newer models. What year is your camper? As for your question, we almost never remove the camper, but the downside is that you have to break camp if you want to leave the site.
