Newbie Question on removing small Lance
Thinking about buying a small Lance camper. My need for it will be occasional. How hard would it be to take it off and put it back on the truck?

Manual crank jacks will make the loading/unloading process longer, but certainly doable. My first three truck campers had manual crank, and I managed ok for several years.
I will say this though, as I’ve gotten older, and suffered a few shoulder injuries, those manual crank jacks get harder and harder to operate as the camper gets higher above the truck bed. If that’s a consideration for you, I’d recommend springing for the electric jacks even on a small TC. Spend the money once right up front and don’t think about it again. Your shoulders will thank you. :B
