Drop your camper at the campground?
I've got an AF1150, so if I drop it from the truck, it's got to be held off the ground a minimum of ~14" to clear drains & lines. The owners manual states to never leave the camper on the jacks for...

Truck Campers are designed and constructed differently by the various manufacturers. Some advise/require support under the TC floor if on the jacks alone for long periods even when dry. Some warn against walking inside especially with a filled liquid tank or tanks when on jacks with the bottom unsupported. It voids the warranty!
There have been many threads on the various forums of several different TC brands having the floor give way when unsupported. Not a pretty site and extremely difficult and expensive to repair and some are not even repairable as the lower walls, plumbing, electrical, etc are also compromised as seen in many of the forum's posted pics. So much depends on where the floor breaks away and what comes with it.
A couple manufacturers have designed and constructed their TC's to be used fully both on the truck or off the truck on jacks without underfloor supporting. This factor is one of the things we looked for when selecting a TC to purchase. It tells you something very important about the TC's design and construction and it''s viability down the road of ownership.
The OP has what he had purchased and will have to deal with what's needed or required for need of off truck floor support. I'd certainly contact the manufacturer for the manufacturer's specifics for prevention rather than experience the shock and horror of a fallen floor. Should it occur in a CG etc, the ruining of a trip not the mention the financial impact then and for the future.
