Now this is a Truck and Camper. Eagle Cap owners page.

Despite its "small" size, I bet that thing is HEAVY, and it has to be lifted pretty high to get it on the truck.

For those reasons, I don't like the folding front jacks. At all. Some of the pictures in the gallery show the camper without the middle landing-gear jacks, which makes me think they were added after having an "Aaughhhh!!!" moment loading it. They're so far back from the COG of the camper that they won't keep the camper from falling over if a front jack decides to fail. At least they're keeping the camper as low as possible on the truck by doing away with the cabover section, and any type of bed for the truck.

Also, imagine how difficult it must be to keep all six jacks synchronized while lifting the camper, even if they're all electric. Just four jacks can get out of sync easily enough, and you end up with the camper standing on three legs once in a while. I'd be very concerned about putting too much sideways pressure on the front jacks and having one fold up with very little warning.

I'd bet the camper isn't going to come off the truck as often as the owner may imagine. With it on the truck, the departure angle is going to really limit where the truck can go.

The middle set of jacks appear to be mounted to the truck chassis. I would think they are for stabilizing the truck...not the camper. Perhaps for when the chair lift is in use...
