With the Stable Lift, you will loose the wobble experience, change your looks from a big potato with 4 toothpicks to a TC dragging a Swing set. :B

Why I park mine in the 'L' shaped corner between the garage and the shop. I can leave it at load height without fear of it 'blowing over' in the wind.

If you use the struts provided with the lift, you can bring it out of the corner and leave it at load height. It will not sway with the wind.

Back to reality..

I know that Lance states that you can occupy (use) the camper off the truck (states that in the owners manual), at least I think it did in as much as I no longer own the Lance, I seem to remember that but...

Does that apply to all makes of truck campers? Not sure about that.

From my forum experience through the years, some TCs can be used off the truck on the jacks and some cannot. Some can be stored off the truck on the jacks but not walked in while on the jacks. It is about how the TC is constructed. A given manufacturer may have models with different requirements.

My 1500 series (non basement) Bigfoot is not recommended for use on jacks off the truck due to potential cracks in the floor gel coat. I understand the 2500 series (basement) Bigfoot may be used on jacks off the truck.

I seem to remember Kayteg posting a picture of his Fleetwood (I think) off the truck and it showed a gap between the floor and the cabinets where the floor was bowing down, from, I presume the pressure of the jacks exerted on the sides, causing the floor to bow. Wouldn't occupying a camper that does that amplify the issue?

That has nothing to do with the jacks. That is how the camper is constructed, the floor structure and its attachment to the sides. Totally unrelated to the jacks or Stable Lift.

My P'up don't do that but I remember his picture a while ago. My owners manual does not state one way or another about occupying the unit off truck, something I'll check out with Palomino next time I visit the factory which will be this fall as I need to pick up some upgrades I want to install.

Only the manufacture knows for sure.
