I thought i would film loading a truck camper for people new to truck campers and may pick up a few tips or those who would just like to see the procedure done. This is my method but may be different than others. This is the link to the youtube video. Truck camper loading youtube video

Hi, great video, we are all learning, you made it look so easy.

Fantastic to see a younger person enjoying the benefits of Truck Camping, pass it on, cheaper, more mobile, go anywhere you want.

I am now on my third TC, when new Eagle 1160 arrives, here in Australia. First was a popup, with manual crank jacks.

Happy Camping!

Please explain how you use mirrors to do the alignment even on both sides for you truck camper and whether it is drw or drw.

nice vid, I sure wish I had electric jacks now. My crank ones are too much work. One of the reasons I want a new camper.

Thanks all, I thought of doing the video in a bit more detail but I did not want it to be too long. This was somewhat meant to be for folks who have never seen how this procedure was done.

Yes I once had a camper with manual pump style hydraulic jacks and going to a camper with electrics was heaven.

Good job, but, really, is there another way?

Good job. It would be great if different variations were on YouTube including using guides, loading on drws, etc. No, I don't need it, but newbies could benefit.
