I don't ever take mine off while camping because I like having it with me and I like being able to move in a moments notice. But If I did like taking it off, I would use the plywood X Design that Sleepy, or Redog sometimes mention. Only I would have 2 sheets. Both would be 5/8 marine plywood, and one would be ripped up the center and slotted for the Big X brace, While the second sheet would lay on top the X like a table top. This is what I would lower my camper down on. It could also be used as a table or many other uses while camping, even make shift ramps. Or wind breaks for a fire, a lean-to, ect. And then they would all collapse and fit under the camper while loaded. If you have a short bed truck you can shorten them, or take a jigsaw and shape the full sheet to fit in the bed between the fender wells in the bed. Whoever first thought of this was brilliant. Plywood is always good to have on hand. Some drywall screws and a Dewalt and a jigsaw and you can do a lot. You can even lay on it while working under a truck, Use it under a tire if your stuck, or place it under a jack on soft ground. So many uses, and takes up so little space.
