How often is it that one does business with a large company and ends up being less than satisfied? Possibly too often!Well, NOT so with my latest transaction with Torklift. Kerstin Stokes went above and beyond answering my questions and giving professional, educated advice to me about the Torklift Camper Packer stands for storing my Palomino TC.The package arrived yesterday and I eagerly dove into the assembly. How amazed was I to see the rugged construction of the entire unit. All the parts were there, organized, and instructions with pictures made assembly very easy.This system is rugged, rugged, and I mean rugged. My 2950# camper settled onto the top of this system with ease. I will attempt to attach a few pictures. You can't go wrong if you purchase this amazing storage system. Built to last and easy to assemble.Lakeside

The problem I see is there isn't any side force support (triangulation) on the sawhorses which is just as important as anything else. Without the side support, a strong wind from the side is likely to overload the jacks and make them bend. When I support my camper, I want it to be provided support in all directions.

Put some coaster wheels on the legs and you can roll it around.

kohldod,Side support NOT an issue in my case, the TC will be stored during off season inside a garage. If wind is an issue in your case, the legs can be cut off during assembly to lower the profile and bring the camper closer to the ground, thus lowing overall height. Positioning your camper facing into the prevailing winds would be more air dynamic and tend to lower issues with side force winds. A lot like driving down the road with TC on your truck. You need to understand, these components are so rugged, even at the height in my pictures, I get only slight movement by pushing camper from the side. The brackets that hold the legs are steel and are very stiff.This is a quality product and I could not be more satisfied.Lakeside

Before I placed my TC on saw horses, I would want the manufacturer to verify that it was designed to be supported like this because, from what I can tell, TC's are designed to rest on the bed of your truck or be supported by the jacks. A support system that mimics the load distribution you get in your truck bed is a much better approach in my opinion.
