Using TC when off truck

A 'newby' question!!

Can you use the camper when off truck?

Are there any restrictions?

Do you need more support than just the jacks?

I am assuming you would need to lower TC to lowest point on jacks?

Thanks
Rick

  • OK thanks

    I just was not sure how to word a search!!!

    I will check the link
  • Im not one of those people that say, use the search function, this has been beat to death, asked so many times...blah blah blah. I hate it when I ask a question and people do that to me.

    There is a thread a couple pages back where this is discussed thoroughly. Here's the link, you may have to copy and paste it as I don't know how to make it clickable.

    The general thinking with this issue is it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. You'll have to see if the one you have is approved for it.
  • I think there's another discussion on this, might try searching to see what pops up, but the short answer is usually "Yes"... depends upon the camper but should be able to use off the truck with just the Jack supports that comes with it.

    When you get closer to looking at various Mfg, ask them... but you do want to be able to use it without much additional stuff..
