First TC RV: I frequently took the camper off.
Yes, you are correct - having a good level surface is crucial for easy load/unloading.
Newer trucks and campers have a very narrow tailgate opening fit and it can increase the difficulty of on/off loading.
Un-even terrain will stress the jacks where they attach to the camper.
Fourth TC RV: I rarely take the camper off.
I tow a Jeep for trips that may find it useful for additional touring when making road trips / camping.
To replace the pickup truck's at-home general utilitarian use, I've purchased a small 5x8 trailer for light duty hauling with the Jeep.
The pick up bed is now only used for heavy duty hauling.
