For short term, suicide jacks could be employed to raise the front.
Does it come with the special hitching assembly to attach it to the truck? Those, like the Born Free's, had a special attachment hitch that went on the rear of the truck.
Good point. I don't know. Gonna have to look Ito that.
Also, you could always do like the guy I'm buying my Amerigo from and convert the Amerigo to front corner jacks with regular swing outs (he made some brackets that bolt through the corner and under the wing) and then use your existing ones for the motovan.
Another loading method would be to get three of those no-slip heavy duty piano dollys and put then on a sheet of plywood in the bed of your truck.
Back the truck under as far as you can, then lower onto the the dollys and cribbing, remove the jacks, then back up so more, using the dollies to roll the camper forward into the bed until its past the fenders, then reattach the jacks.
Don't know if the motovan's jacks are a loop like the Born free than actually clamped in place to couple of hooks on the underside of the truck frame.
