your remote batteries and adds additional security for your camper. After use, store the remote unit
in a secure place away from access by children.
Electric Jack Operating Instructions
Locate your wireless remote control. Activate per manufacturer’s instructions.
Press the appropriate buttons on remote control to lift the camper until it is clear of the truck
body bed by approximately 4 to 6“.
Note: One button can run all jacks at once and each
jack has its own button to run each jack individually. Make sure all jacks are
touching the ground before using the “all jacks” button to raise your camper.
Failure to do this can result in damage to your camper off of the truck.
See “Continuation for all Jack Versions” below to continue.
Continuation for all Jack Versions
Slowly back the truck under the camper making sure to clear the wheel wells and camper
jacks.
Warning: If you have a dually truck make certain you have swing out jack
brackets on the front jacks to clear your dual wheels and fenders.
Continue backing up until the truck is within a foot of the fully loaded position. Stop and
connect the 12-volt power cord to the “7-pin” 12-volt receptacle on the truck (this may need
to be installed by your dealer if your truck doesn’t already have one). Before continuing check
to see that the distance between the trucks tail lights and the rear of the camper has at least
1” separation. If not, add an appropriate wood shim in the front of the truck bed as a spacer
before continuing. (This is rarely needed but a good practice for a new camper install).
Continue backing under the camper until the bumpers/camper guides, mounted on the front
corners of the camper, are approximately 1” from the front of the truck bed.
Slowly raise both rear jacks then front jacks (lower camper) evenly for manual jacks (you can
raise/lower all jacks at once with electric) until the camper is resting fully on the truck bed.
Raise the jack base pads to within 2” of full retraction for travel or to jack manufacturer’s
directions.
Warning: Failure to fully retract jack legs as described can cause damage,
extended jacks can catch on curbs etc. while driving!
If equipped with swing out brackets (for dually trucks), disengage the swing out bracket on
the front jacks and move the brackets to the inward position for travel.
Secure the camper to the truck with a set of high quality tie downs. Hook one end to the
camper tie-down under the wing or jack bracket of the camper and the other end to your
camper tie-down bracket installed on your truck.
It is RECOMMENDED that all tie downs
be spring loaded. (We recommend Torklift Tie-Downs and Fast Guns as our tie-
down of choice but there are many other acceptable options).
Install all four, 2-front and 2-rear, tie downs as per the manufacturer’s directions
Stow remote control or jack crank handle for future use.
