What I remember most about the old ‘60s and ‘70s campers is the jacks!
They were scary!
I had the ones that were a tripod, you guessed the center of gravity of the camper and set the jack there. Only two jacks, you were expected to balance it. There was just a piece of angle iron on the jack, you set it against the edge of the camper. There was a cable and crank to lift the camper.
I still have a pair and yes,they are scary..I marked my campers where the balance point was then carefully raised just high enough to clear the bed and would move one sawhorse out of the way at a time as I backed in..The nice thing about them is, you can push/twist the camper around a little bit for a more perfect one try load...With those tall sturdy sawhorses are your friend.
