swing out brackets for a Palamino
Merry Christmas All, We have a friend who has a hard top older Palomino hard top TC and he just got a dually for it. Has anyone put swing out extensions on this type of TC?

Sometimes not so simple
Attwoods don't add that much width
Some campers are not full 8' wide , so plating ext is needed
Adding plates push jacks forward when closed
Adding plates puts more stress on attachment to camper if weight is left on jacks
Where the hinge point is on the dually swing out can make a big difference . That's why theres a difference between the Rieco "swing aways" and the Rieco "ez swings"
Rieco swing aways have more material between the hinge point and the jack giving more width than attwoods
Happi jacks mount the jacks at 90 degrees from attwoods and riecos so plating is not the way to go , you need a 'U' channel ,or box
Ive had 6 campers on duallys , everyone has required a different method ,the only one that cleared the dually with just swing outs , a Okanagan that was a full 8' w/ happi jacs and their swing outs ,pushed the jacks forward when closed and wouldn't let the rear cab doors on my 03 Dodge open because the pillar behind the door was so thin , had to move the camper back in the bed
Also sometimes if done certain ways will put the jack out side the plane of the side of the camper so the jack is limiting the view of the side mirrors
