I just don't want you to get hurt or crushed with that situation. Can't you mount four electric jacks to it on the corners? By way of steel angle under the wings attached to the 4 corner jacks? 2-3 grand is not bad to save a leg or a life.
I get it buddy and appreciate it, I'm just not looking to replace the camper today and or tie that type of money up in corner jacks. If I decide in the long run to continue with a TC I most likely will eventually spring for a newer model but for the time being these jacks will work. I just need to button down the mounting for the jacks and I think they will work OK for now.
After looking at it tonight I think I have decided to run PT 2x10s down the wings like suggested just due to the bottom of the wing does look soft and I need the additional height with the jacks anyway. Ill mount these with 8 carriage bolts going upward and then mount the jacks in the same places they were before on the drivers side and match it on the passenger. With the jacks mounted securely as one with the camper I'm sure that will reduce the wiggle.
Thanks again everyone.
ps. Next project will be the roof, I'll search the forum as I'm sure this has been covered a few thousand times but Ill post pictures so you can see the condition of it.
Kindest regards
