Width of Happijac Jacks with Slide out Dually Bracket

[a_flyfisher]

I'm getting a new Northern Lite 10-2 camper this spring. It comes with Happijac electric jacks, and I'm getting the optional slide out brackets so I can use it on my 2011 F-350 dually.

I was wondering if someone can tell me the normal standard width of the electric jacks, and how much additional width the dually brackets will add?

Thanks, John

Thanks again for the replies. Well, I guess if you guys can back under your campers with 1" on each side, I'll have to figure out how to do it too -- after my insurance policy is paid up.

I have a 2009 Northern Lite 10-2 I carry on a Dodge dually and can tell you it's close but you will clear you have 97 1/2" between the jacks when you swing them out. I would just touch the foot pads of the jacks backing under the camper. The jacks are mounted inboard on the camper that is why it is close,.

Northern Lite 10-2 camper is 98 inches wide

I believe my truck is 8', or 96" wide. That's why I was wondering what the width would be between the jacks with the brackets extended. Maybe someone with a Northern Lite will chime in.??

I'd ask my dealer but my salesman there seemed to know less than I do, which is practically nothing.

My camper is narrower than the standard. I think mine is 7' 9", where as most, such as Northern Lite, AF, etc. are 8ft? That is why I showed the extended width from the camper sidewall.
We have a 2014 Ram dually and we have about 1" clearance between jack legs and rear fender. So, I'd assume that a wider camper would give you more clearance?

Thanks a lot for those pictures.

The other question that I have, though, is when the brackets are extended, what is the distance between them, i.e. How many inches of clearance will I have? (Am I correct that the distance is pretty much the same from one brand of camper to another?)

Congrats! Here are some pics. Hope they answer some of your questions.
