Loading and unloading TC on the truck
Since we bought our TC 6 months ago, we've been on the road (in Central America) and haven't had the need to take it off.
Looking at the four legs of the TC, it doesn't provide much confidence that they will hold the TC! :)
We have manual jacks so it'll be good exercise.
Am I correct in assuming the following?
When lifting the TC off the truck, I assume it's vital that the TC is level? Those thin legs don't seem like they could prevent the TC from falling over to front or back if we raise the TC in an un-level manner. (we'll keep an eye on the levelers glued on the sides of the TC)
Additionally, when taking the TC off the truck, the ground we place it on is preferably level? The campground where we're at gave us a space that isn't level at all, so I guess we'll need to make double sure that we keep an eye on the levelers on the TC as we lower the TC after taking it off the truck . Can it hurt if one or more legs aren't fully retracted (because the campground site isn't level)?
