Flat
Prolly a dumb question but...do you lift the weight of the camper off the truck before jacking the truck up...never had a flat in all my travels and was just wondering
Forum Discussion
Well fortunately I have yet to need to change a rear tire with a TC in the bed, however if one is worried about it, it’s not the end of the world to jack up the camper before lifting the truck.
But in the interest of saving time IF I had a rear flat, prior to going to AK with the TC, I let most of the air out of a rear tire with tc on the truck, verified my bottle back would fit under a flat tire, lifted the truck corner high enough to change a tire and it worked.
To spectras point, some folks couldn’t use a mechanical egg beater much less fix a car or truck and also don’t have the experience or confidence or knowledge to use a bottle jack properly.
This is a common theme on this forum as many of the threads deal with mechanical issues or the propensity for them. And many of the members don’t have the basic knowledge or experience to deal with basic repairs.
If everyone did, roadside assistance places would go out of business.
This is understandable. What is not understand able is those who don’t know ____telling someone else their uneducated opinion as to why something is “unsafe” in their eyes as if it’s a fact.
I know a lot about trucks and mechanical things, but I don’t reply to questions that I don’t know the right answer to. See me posting in the 5ver or Class A forums? Nope. Because I don’t know a lot about class As particular setups.
Other should do the same.
