do not know about other brands but the adventurer book recommends support when tanks are loaded. I have the camper packers that I am cutting down as I do not what it as high as they come from the plant. typically I don't drop the TC when out and about and sure wouldn't want to carry all the pieces of the camper packer around.

If you are speaking of Adventurer Truck Campers, I seem to recall a post from Brad their warranty guy that all the newer campers, both Eagle Cap and Adventurers (sorry I don't know when newer started) no longer needed to be supported when off the truck. The manuals have unfortunately not been updated with that info yet.

I found the quote from the Eagle Cap Forum:

I contacted amlrv and received this resonse...which I was given permission to quote;

There is a thread going around today from a Gentleman that just purchased an Adventurer 86SBS. He is concerned that the owner?s manual clearly states?filling the fresh water tank should only be done if the campers is on the truck or the floor supported?.
I can confirm this as I read the same this weekend in our Eagle Cap 850 Owner?s Manual.
ALP website FAQ's however states;

Can your camper be used while it?s off the truck?
Yes, our campers are designed and engineered to be used off of the truck. That is one of the features that truck campers provide the ability to set up camp, off-load your camper and the ability to use your truck for other things, hunting, launch the boat, run to town etc.

So there is some contradiction here?can you clarify?

Yes Bill,
I can, the website is correct and no one has updated the owner?s manual from years ago, which has fortunately or unfortunately fallen into my lap and I am re-writing it as we speak. If you read further you will see many other items that are still in the 80?s thoughts on campers.

I will get that updated this year.
