I’m just kicking the idea of leaving them home around a bit, but there are a couple of reasons why. Yes, this is in regards to my 1965 Avion with manual jacks. First is weight, the 4 jacks with tripod bases and extensions come in around 150lbs. Second is that when traveling they are the widest protrusions on the camper itself, however obviously not wider than the trucks mirrors. They are rotated up when traveling like ticki describes, which makes them less likely to catch on anything than those that are fixed vertically. Third is that is that we don’t expect to de-mount the camper during typical use, the only use they would get might be to act as stabilizers at a campsite.
Posting here was to see what others are doing, so far sounds like they should go with us.
Someplace online I’ve seen references to renting jacks if needed, but I am not sure what I might find as a typical thing to rent that could do the job?
Thanks for sharing your experience on this,
