Stabilizing Truck Camper

Hello! I am new here and to Truck Camping.
We bought a Bigfoot camper that will be loaded on a GMC 2500 8' bed. My awesome hubby made an overbuilt wooden stabilizer for when the truck is not in use which is great but do we need something under it when we are out on the road when at campgrounds? The idea is to leave the camper behind at the campsite while we go exploring.
THANKS for any advice you can send my way!

    Some campers are made to be used off the truck without additional support. You just lower the jacks as far as you can and keep it level. It depends on the camper, so check the manual if you have one.

    (That said, I like to have my refrigerator and bathroom when I go exploring--it's one reason I'm fond of the TC!)
