Probably depends on your camper but we have never used anything but the jacks to hold it up when off the truck for the last 13 years.
Did you ever notice that the new campers in RV dealers lots or RV shows are just standing on the jacks while people are traipsing through them?
Maybe the thick headed folks will believe you as a more respected member of this forum?
FWIW, I agree. We spent weeks camped in both of our AF campers, family of 4, camper sitting just on the jacks, with 2 kids bouncing around in it like a jungle gym.
The one issue I had, was one of the campers, one of the supports for the fresh water tank finally snapped after many days and many trips unsupported with full tank. A couple 5/4 deck boards and a couple hours and it was repaired better than new. Camper was about 15 years old at the time.
I can pretty much guarantee you that if you tried that with my 2000 Palomino, you'd suddenly find yourself with an incredible amount of headroom. 1/2" OSB and fence post cross members every 24" do not inspire confidence.
Also at the dealer lots around here, campers sit on carts or stacks of pallets until they're sold. You never see them at shows.
