Loading TC with a Dually challenging?

I've been doing it for years. take your time and be careful. Usually no problems but occasionally I get a little lazy and bump my jacks. A couple of scratches that's all. But on my truck you wouldn't care if there were more scratches. Good luck!!!

Thanks all for the input. Sounds like not a huge deal with practice and help initially. Miss having a TC, a LOT.

as other as have said, I think with my Arctic Fox there is more room between my fenders and front jacks than my bed to basement clearance.
also depends on the width of your camper. My 990 is around 97" wide to body where a north star may be 4" less and a northern lite may be 98" wide

Keep your eyes on the distance between jacks and fenders. I, the wife, always backs the truck under camper and hubby is checking clearance. My biggest problem is getting truck squared up. However, our pole barn has dirt floor and it is not level. Once the camper is on it usually stays on during camping season. We don't unload the camper at campgrounds because of the extension and truss of the hitch, it sticks out too far and have to switch tag over so it is just easier to leave all that stuff connected. We also have a dually and love, love our truck. Good luck and enjoy the TC world!

I think the newer campers have a bit wider basement than the older campers.
Or it maybe the truck tailgate opening is narrower?

The space between the tailgate opening and the camper basement is about 3/4" max (on my current rig). That's the narrowest point at the top of the tailgate opening.
Between the wheel wells is wider.

My old Eagle Cap and 2005 dually was pretty easy to get on and off.
But my now current Lance and 2015 dually requires a lot more attention and level ground to properly align and load.

As is often the case, "it depends" on the equipment.

I've never had any issues loading my current AF990 and my previous Northstar 8.5 Arrow on to my 06 RAM 3500 dually. Both campers had the swing out brackets. The Northstar was also somewhat narrower than the AF (7.5 ft vs 8 ft IIRC).

I just loaded mine yesterday and it's not all that bad..I can see the fender and jack out my drivers side window and if I keep it close so the fender just clears,the other sided clears also.I had the wife watching the drivers side but in the future,I don't think she needs to.

It's easier the more you load and unload,at least for me.

Well, I'll put it this way...Was a whole lot easier loading my 8.5 footer on a short bed single-rear. BUT, what I have for living space makes the difference worth the trouble :)

I've only experienced loading and unloading with a dually and a utility body (just as wide) and if anything, the tighter margins seem to become easier targets and not obstacles. If I can see 1.5" +/- (guessing) between each front leg, and my approach is straight, I'm pretty much centered and good to go. Same for off-loading.

I do have 1.5" clearance per side, but that shrinks pretty fast when you are on slope.
Pay attention to camper footing as most likely you will drive over it. If it is with no support on inner side, the camper will move when you drive under it and that can be very unpleasant.
