I have yet to use my Stable Lift for camping as I am still restoring my C11 Avion camper. When I went to purchase the camper it had three OEM type manual jacks. My truck is a GMC one ton dually 4 x 4 diesel so the truck bed is quite high off the ground. The camper jacks fully extended would NOT lift the camper high enough to get it into the truck. My truck has stock suspension and tires so stock height. With the jacks fully extended and with 40 lbs. of air removed from the four rear tires we were able to get it into the truck. It wobbled so much I was scared we were going to lose the rig just loading it. Right then and there I made up my mind that there had to be a better way. I was VERY LUCKY and found a used Stable Lift meant for a dually for the crazy price of $400.00 !!! It is the best purchase made to date. Installed it myself it works great. Lifts plenty high to get into my truck bed and solid as a rock. Yes it looks like you ran over a swingset but that doesn't bother me at all. What does bother me is my camper potentially falling over onto me, my wife or family members ! this Avion will probably be the last truck camper I own but if I were to get another one it WILL have a SL on it.
