Any rotator can pick it up and the operator will have the required slings and spreaders but keep in mind it won't be cheap I only know of 2 reasons why that happens. One, the camper is way up in the jacks and the wind get it and it falls or two, the jack mounts are either loose or the underlying frame is rotten and the jack mounts won't hold, or both.
I keep my camper on the jacks all summer when it's not on the truck but I lower it down as close to the ground as possible. Never had an issue but then my frame is solid under the mounting plates and I check the lag bolts every spring to make sure they are secure to the camper.
My unit stays inside my barn all winter out of the weather and I stay pro-active with sealing it from the elements too.
My last Lance was 15 years old when I sold it and had no rot whatsoever.
TC's live much better, longer lives when kept inside. In fact, any RV does. I cringe when I see an RV sitting outside in the winter here with no cover. It's on it's way to the rot syndrome.
