A couple of questions (mostly because camera angles are deceiving):
1. Will you be able to reach the jack stand cranks from the ground when the TC is sitting on the truck?
2. Are the locking pin holes far enough out that the exterior skin will not interfere with the pin operation?
3. With what are you going to seal the inside of your jack mount tubes to prevent it being access inside to infestation?
1) Should be no problem for me to reach the cranks, I am 6'7" :-) But I do not think they will need to be that high that a more vertically challenged person would not be able to reach them.
2) Yes, I made sure the pin holes have 1/4 inch clearance past the exterior skin. I am slow but I do tend to measure twice, cut once.
3) I was thinking plastic caps on the inside, but maybe on the outside as well when the jacks are not on the camper. A bit more trouble to have to keep track of the caps on the outside when you want to install/remove the jacks, but it would keep dirt/wasps from nesting in the holes.
Good questions though! All of these except #1 crossed my mind and were a concern.
