Some truck campers are supported off the truck with what can only be described as minimally secure jacks. Our area is prone to extremely strong winds that come up without warning. Should one of those support legs become compromised due to the wind, catastrophic failure of the entire support can occur. Not a risk we are willing to take on.

My question for the park owner here is:
What's the perceived difference between taking a TC off and driving the truck vs. taking a 5th wheel off and driving that truck?
Both look the same from the front. Not following the logic.
Although I can definitely see the logic with pack rates putting junk everywhere. However, that doesn't seem to be limited to TCs in my experience. A good half of all campers make a mess of a site.
We are actually 100% internal inside the TC. No things outside which probably looks weird to some but is quite necessary for urban camp environments.
As for making a mess of the site, our park has exactly zero customers making a long term mess because we do not tolerate it, be it a truck camper or a Prevost.
