This is something I worry about also, I did find this you tube vid about this camper falling over. The camper jack may have been weak, wind or some other outside force could have contributed to the camper falling over. This guy seems to think that the camper being loaded with weighted items in the bed area was the cause. The video starts pretty slow, but if you can stick with it, he finally gets to the idea of the video".Uprighting The Fallen Truck Camper" is the title of the video. I would guess there are others.
Just something to check out.
I don't even have to look for the video.
The jack(s) collapsed, period.
That is NOT NOT NOT the camper tipping over using the front jacks as the fulcrum point. The camper fell down; it did not tip over.
Show me a camper that is tipped over with the rear end sticking up in the air, and the front jacks intact. You can't. It has NEVER happened.
I really need to stop reading this thread.
