JoePa Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Boy every year I have to put my slide-in camper on my PU truck - man I hate doing this - I have a Lance Camper and a F350 PU - I have to get the camper between the wheel wells and between two rubber bumpers in the front of the box - I end up going back and forth a dozen times to get the camper on the truck just right Well the other day I go to do this - backing up while looking out the back window - I have my foot on the brake - but then as I'm backing my foot hits the gas pedal and the truck knocks the camper off a couple cement blocks that were under the lifting jacks - down comes the camper on the truck bed - I'm luck the camper didn't fall over on its side - it did danger the truck bed somewhat and broke the back window on the truck Repairing the window is going to cost me 500 bucks - once I get the window fixed I'll have to try loading the camper again - I'm wondering does any one go through this every year and do they have some suggestions as to how it can be done safety - thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfish Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Sounds like you need to get a trailer camper. I can take away the truck camper at no charge. I,ll even back my truck in MYSELF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLINKER Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 I used to line it up with the side mirror, no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Once it's centered up put a piece of tape on the camper and the rear window of the truck. Will make lining it up next time a snap. A lot easier with two people however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
