Using TC when off truck

At home, I use mine off the truck all the time. Makes for a great get away!

It varies. Some campers aren't built for it, most are. What camper are we talking about?

I had never seen this done until last weekend while camping at Three River Crossing State Park along the Snake River in ID. Every TC I saw, and I saw more than 20, was off the truck and the truck was off towing a boat to the river. Some were just on their jacks and others were also supported by DIY wooden structures.

There is an easy 3,000-4,000 lbs on the square below, a couple of people in the cabover of the camper won't affect the stability.

The part that would bother me is sleeping in the bed overhang. Like shown in FPOOLE's photo that sure is hung out there pretty far. I know the over-hang is well supported but it might tip the main section over since it isn't locked into the truck bed haha...

Must not be a concern as I do see them sitting on the ground at camp sites by them selves...

Another issue I would probably have is I sure would hate for someone to run off with my TC while I was away from it haha...

My truck camper in my sig works great off the truck. I think most will. But some better than others and I suppose a few not at all. But Lance campers are very stout. Definitely need to research your particular model.

So do I.
I thought a quick response to his question would answer his question and that there are other threads that cover it in various degrees if needed.

I agree with you, just saying search is a PITA, but I believe he got a short quick answer and a Pic to go along with it as a bonus...

I wasn't taking a poke at ya, just a general statement is all.

Good info

Definitely a question to ask the dealer, as I do plan to use the camper off the truck.
