To Unload 

– Reverse above procedure. 

 

When camper bed is clear (front & back) of the truck slowly drive truck forward, being careful 
not to hit the jacks. 

 

To lower the camper, reverse the above procedure bringing the camper down to 2” from the 
bottom of each jack, and then you can level your camper. Our campers are designed to be 
used off of the truck. 

 

NOTE: 

If you are going to leave the camper on your truck disconnect your tie downs before leveling 

your camper with the jacks, failure to do this can result in damage to your truck and/or camper. 

 
WARNING: 

Keep children and animals away from the area when raising or lowering the camper. 

Avoid putting any part of your body under the camper during the procedure. 
 

TIP:

 Use plywood pads under each jack to keep from sinking in soft ground or hot asphalt! 

TOWING AND HITCH SYSTEMS 

 

A hitch system should be installed on your truck by

 

QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY

LOADING CARGO 

When loading your camper, store heavy gear first, and place down low.  Distribute weight as evenly 
as possible from side to side.  Remember overloading or uneven loading can create a serious safety 
hazard and may shorten the service life of chassis components.  Do not load upper cabinets with 
heavy items. Secure and brace stored items so they won’t move during travel, thereby shifting the 
load in the camper. Carry only as much water as needed for travel use and whenever possible, empty 
the waste water holding tanks before traveling. 

Carrying Capacity 

The number and size of storage components and liquid tank capacities are maximized for value and 
convenience.  If the camper operator fills all liquid tanks to capacity, and fills all storage 
compartments and cupboards to maximum volume, the truck may exceed its GVWR.  The 

operator

 

is responsible for analyzing the conditions under which the truck and camper will be used for each 
trip.  After you have determined how much weight you can safely carry and selected those items to 
make up that weight, make a list and keep it for future reference. 

Warning: It is the operator’s 

CAUTION:

  

Towing will change the handling and 

braking characteristics of your truck and camper
