It has always been interesting to me how this task of backing under the camper is very stressful for some folks, and that this simple method escapes them. Just back up so you have the same distance between the truck and the jacks showing in the mirrors. Simple. If you do this, you don't need any kind of centering device or laser beams, or a helper. I don't believe I've had to readjust more than 2 or 3 times in my life. It's just a load you're placing in the bed of your truck, nothing more, nothing less.
Just yesterday I spend at least 5 minutes waiting for gas pump when the guy at pump took very long time to process his card.
It was at Costco, where you have to use 2 cards, but still it is not rocket science.
So what is easy for some, can be overwhelming task for other.
I have a friend who always ask me to back up his boat on the ramp... not a bad driver otherwise.
With camper it took me some time to figure out what point to observe. I was looking on sides and my final check was measuring how the lower window gutter sticks outside the bed rails.
Perfect is 2 fingers on each side, but before making the guides and figuring out the points, I could be 2" off.
