Why not to buy a Chevy..
Way over powered...lol Untitled by MooringProduct, on Flickr Found this on The Chive and thought it was odd. The Chevy's tailgate is closed...would love to see how they reloaded it.

That is why a person needs to leave their jacks on the camper. Now that I drive a Chevy, I am glad you posted this, as I will be more careful when hitting the throttle.
I almost did the same thing with my first TC, which I had on a J 20 Jeep pickup. No bed liner, just setting on the metal bed, no jacks, and the turn buckles supplied by the dealer, broke when I was going up a steep hill in Dawson City YT. It slid about half way out the back. A mechanic in town came out with a set of portable jacks and got it reloaded and installed new tie downs at his shop and advised me to get a rubber bed mat, which I did. About 1974 give or take.
