Never heard of a camper that can't be stored on jacks for extended period (ever drive by a TC dealer?). If our's isn't on the truck, it is on the jacks (at home).

The dealer I bought this from had specially made rolling platforms under every camper. The guy that walked me around the install and spent 2 hours teaching me everything about the camper, stressed multiple times about the possibility of damage in not supporting the floor with anything in the tanks.

Don't stress-camp!

True! Good advice, but I camp better, not stressed....worrying about the camper floor falling out. lol. I just seem to have a history of learning these things the hard way....like putting out a 7:1 anchor road out in a storm....learned that when I woke up having floated out of the bay in a storm, at night. Not fun, and thank God for radar and GPS chartplotters with anchor alarms.

Not sure about AF'S...I know there were some reports on here of tanks falling through floors. You would have to check with your Mfr.The TC's we have owned could all be used on the jacks. Take a look at Bill Penney's place...must be 100 campers...all way up in the air; TC Warehouse when we were there People were cawling all over them...and he stores them jacked up high enough to get a truck under them (he moves his inventory around a lot). I don't store mine that high, but he doesn't worry about it...take a look at some of the pics on his site...they are all jacked up high...and his Customers are free to roam around all they want.
Anyway, it is my understanding TC's can be used on the jacks...just be careful the footing is solid.

p.s. We always keep a night watch when out at the off shore Canyons...you never know who/what is drifting around...I find the best tuna fishing can happen durring the night anyway, so I always "volunteer" to stay up all night. I'll go down in the hole and sleep while steaming back to the dock...
