Rookie Lance Owner Loading Nightmare!

Thanks for all the great responses. I measured the difference on the overhang both front and rear and it appears to be more than I had initially believed.
It seems to be a couple of inches too far passenger side but as one response stated, the wells would not allow that would they! I like the shim idea rather than removing it & starting over. I may try that. Also I read a post in another string that talked about using transparent tape and a white centerline on the truck bed & then dragging a small piece of fine chain from the front center of the camper box.
If I do crank it up again, I may try placing cinder blocks 2 wide about 2 tiers high with a square piece of ply under each front. That way they don't extend so far out reducing subsequent "bandy leg" syndrome!
In the end result, really glad to learn that slide-ins "seat" themselves as you drive. Makes sense though when you think about it!

That being the case... I'm off to Walmart for a new Vizio for the rig and we'll see how she dances back there!

BTW, in ponderence of exactly how to mount my DirecTV antenna, I came upon another Lance last week and dude had the dish "U-bolted" to one side of the ladder just below the roof line so as to be out of the travel wind! Slick! Got to try that & post pics.

Years ago (back in the 60s) when I had a Teardrop camper the jacks were not that great. If it was a little off when loaded I would raise it about an inch and slid some shims in to get it straight. Lower camper then remove shims. Worked for me. The old 1960 Teardrop campers were heavy built with 2X2s, 2X4s, & 2X6s.

Crooked loading isn't a problem. I just get mine close because it moves a tiny bit in travel anyway. I used to have to load off center to clear the tailgate.
If your getting new jacks I highly recommend electric with remote control. It makes loading and unloading much quicker and easier.

I would not worry if the TC is skewed a bit, having the tie downs on the side a bit tighter on the side you want it to go and some bumps from a uneven surface will most likely bring it into line. Then just adjust the tie downs again. TC's will move around a bit from road surfaces and wind pressure unless they are blocked in. Or just ignore the skewed thing as it won't be a problem.

Your jacks and loading surface sound a bit scary. You can move the jacks a little when loading by placing a block of wood against it at the foot and hitting the wood with a sledge. Not hard, just enough to move a quarter inch at a time. Time consuming and you need to work on all four jacks. A bit extreme but it works if you need to do it. It does not take much force to move the bottom of a jack that slight amount but like I said. time consuming.

If the camper is offset to one side that isn't an issue. It will stop at the wheelwells.

Does the front have dually brackets or brackets that are possibly homemade? You should be able to simply take those off if so and reattach the front jack to the front jack plate attached to the camper. I'm making the assumption that your tires are no larger than the ones that were on my F350 SRW which were 19.5/70R245s.

As long as it is well tide to the truck it should be OK and possibly after a few turns it will get back in place, good luck
