Go slow, take your time, look, look, look. Whenever I have felt pressure to load my camper I have done something stupid. Didn't hook up the electricity, bumped the camper with the truck bed, put the camper on off kilter.
When leaving the campsite, take your time, look, look, look. Whenever I rush I do something stupid. Left our trash can, left a cool ladder, dragged a lowered jack, left the skylight open and it busted while driving on the highway, left the drain cap off and wondered what that banging sound was.
When I first got the camper, I was driving it like I used to drive my small toyota pickup with a cap. fast. On that first trip I busted a several hundred dollar running board on a rock and smacked a rear jack going against a tree going around a corner on a trail. I was driving this bigger truck and camper like I used to drive the smaller truck. fast. Big trucks and camper do better driven slow off road.
I am sure I have done other things I refuse to remember!
