From ALP website FAQ's;
Can your camper be used while it’s off the truck?
Yes, our campers are designed and engineered to be used off of the truck. That is one of the features that truck campers provide the ability to set up camp, off-load your camper and the ability to use your truck for other things, hunting, launch the boat, run to town etc.
ALP FAQ's
This is in direct contradiction of the manual...which I just read this weekend when we picked up our new Eagle Cap.
It does not really concern me as we never off load when travelling.
I will say...I have filled the tank on our old Adventurer many times when off the truck at home.
For now, I will be more dilligent with the Eagle cap and be sure the base is supported.
There are some threads around here about AF's and exploding floors!
Too bad Mfrs can't post here...this one needs clarification!
IIWY...I would play it safe for now...keep it on the truck.
