Help...Loading a camper solo!
Any advise on loading a camper solo? I've viewed videos of using a laser, rollers attached to the bed, strings ... What are your solutions?

Constant checking... in and out of truck...
I use the mat, I've centered the mat and then put down Duct/Gorilla tape on the corners so I know where the mat goes.
I then either put on painters tape along the Bed (Flat bed, but the idea is the same - marking) First times it's in/out to verify on the mat.
Then I sit in drivers seat and select a spot that I can relate to on the camper and put tape there to align it up. Trial and Error, but it gives you something to look at for reference.
I'd put something in the center of the camper to use as a reference from the rear view mirror, but it's blocked.
It still takes time and a few times double checking. If you're close to getting it you can 'Walk' the camper over an inch or so...
Just lower the side you want to move out. Raise other side jacks (assuming you have the jacks on the ground). Camper will list a little bit at a time so it's for close adjustments.
I'm sure others have techniques, pick and choose the one that works best in your case.. Some put tape down the middle of bed and camper and able to see it to align it...
Not much help, but some ideas..
Hope that helps..
