THE SCARIEST PART OF OWNING A TRUCK CAMPER...

This is my least favorite part of owning a truck camper, those that have done this know, but I've got a new trick up my sleeve...

Put large pads under the jack stands. Had the ground sink when my sprinklers went on while I was sleeping. Expensive lesson.

That first lift when you go from manual to electric jacks is magical! Nice job!

Timmy, we had a 1969 truck camper, and probably to save money, it only had 3 jacks which were hand cranked. My Dad was very handy so he made a rig that fit over the part that you cranked, then welded a piece on it so it fit a 1/2” drill chuck. What an improvement over cranking that sucker by hand. My Dad would have loved this rig, but the cost would have stopped him dead cold. His new 1969 ford pickup was $2, 250.00 brand new, the 11’ camper was about $1, 300. Those jacks look expensive but sweet

Timmy,
My interests are off road camping. I’ve been watching since I saw you with Phil. I wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed your adventures. I especially enjoyed watching you snowmobile and shoot the rapids. You have expanded my understanding of the sports and given me a glimpse of Alaska.
I’m impressed with your camper as well.
Thank you

Invest in Detroit axle slotted and drilled rotors with ceramic pads... anything from them is good. All made in America parts

Mount some bubble levels on each side dont have to eyeball it

[kevinmurphy]

This guy is awesome. Some YouTube algorithm brought up this channel and I’ve watched 3 really great videos and just subscribed.

[daveneil]

I love your whole set up! That last scene of your camper was awesome, that expensive coating looked great! Thanks for sharing. Yupl, those electric jacks are the way to go! Keep those videos ah coming.

Your Channel has come a long way! Premium job my guy! 👌

[lesabre]

The truck house looks all new being shiny, I love it, awesome job man!

[callsignmohas]

Im so stoked to be starting my truck bed cabin this spring. Your videos are extremely inspirational. Hopefully i can have it somewhat usable by elk season this September

[ryanjones]

The quick connects are so much nicer than the turnbuckles! Flat bed looks like the way to do it. I hate getting the camper in between the wheel wells.

Great video. Jacks work great. House is looking fresh. I’ve got 3 of those portable AC units. I find that the amount of heat that comes from the hose is crazy. I wish they’d make a insulated hose. Sometimes I’ll wrap a small blanket around the hose to insulate it. Safe travels. Good luck on fuel prices.

You need some leveling bubbles on the side and back to lift level. Those inch markings on your cool jack lifts need a level indicator. Nice rig

I just pulled up next to a guy here in San Francisco in his Samari. I thought of you. I think you made the right move man. Those jacks are bad-ass!

[glennpurchase]

Those jacks are awesome. It makes life a lot easier. Perfect.

[jonny-on-the-spot]

sick rig, love it when a plan comes together. thanks for sharing.

From South Africa my experience with turnbuckle (3.8m semi rigid rubber duck on trailer, 1 on the bow and 2 on the stern) is that they turn loose. My roadside fix was to lace chord through the middle, and tied off. My permanent fix was butterfly /wing nuts on the R threaded side as a locknut used a pliers to tighten.

Ever checked the tension on yours ? Might be a nasty surprise waiting for you

[derekpaterson]

I was waiting for this episode !! I commented a while back on your video about the new Jack's you bought and about knowing the struggles of removing camper on lifted truck. Those things are bad ass !!! And that's exactly what I need. So worth it eh ! Thanks for showing them in !, and your camper is bad ass as well. Real quick, so you have a visual of my set up....I have an old Palomino pop up Originally from Alaska. It is painted to match my 2019 lifted Ram 1500 with Granite colour. The Camper has also done Route 66 twice. That's all the background of it I have. I've owned it for 3 years now and it's an amazing camper, and I basically live in it for 6 months out of the year here on Vancouver Island. Keep en coming buddy ! Love your content !
