I’ve picked them up with straps and a boom truck.
The main thing about doing that is to put a spreader bar, which can be just a solid, thick wooden timber, across the roof to keep the straps spread so the walls don’t cave in when you lift it.
I know most haven’t got a crane to work with but I’m giving this advice so you can have the necessary rigging available if you hire a crane to do the lift.
You can lift the front with straps around the cabover section, as close to the main camper body as you can get, and straps around the rear of the body. You want the spreader as wide as you can make it. Or grab the rear by the rear jack mounts, if they’re still solidly attached.
Then, never leave a camper just standing on its jacks again! Any of you!
I’m a crane truck operator.... and I’m telling you, they crash. The older they get, the more likely.
I’ve cleaned up the mess from someone’s attempt at putting a tractor bucket under a camper before... I’d say probably don’t do that. Campers are relatively soft.
