Trust me this is much harder than he made it look. Especially if the ground is not level. These campers are heavy, I've been truck camping for 20 plus years now and I still have problems loading my camper on uneven ground. Thanks for sharing. I NEVER once thought about storing stuff in front of the fender well, thanks for that tip. That's a lot of weight on single wheel but I'm sure you know what you're doing.
I don’t why I didn’t see it working like this I for some reason thought you and Jaclyn manually lifted up on and off it 😂😂 vivid imagination I guess #themoreyouknow :) thanks for showing us
Me and the wife want to start traveling and purchased our first Lance Squire 4000 to do so and I made a huge mistake to buy before even buying tie downs or the support bars that bolt on the frame of truck. So we ended up getting 3000 lb straps to take it home and we did and got it home safe.
When you drive with camper on truck is it normal for truck to lean over some as you turn right or left? Did you add bigger sway bar or other to have a more solid suspension?!? Please help thank you and awesome channel
Yes camper sway is very normal and has more to do with tire bulge than suspension. That’s why dually trucks are more popular in the TC world. We have overload springs in addition to a custom spring pack. Sway bars are cool too but they severely limit axle articulation. My recommendation is to find a shop that makes custom spring packs, bring them the truck fully loaded with camper, water fuel, food, clothes and toys. That usually costs around $1,500 and will outperform most airbag setups.
Yes here it is. We try to keep all products we use on our webpage under the affiliates tab feel free to check it out. We use this Velcro for everything! amzn.to/49jgBWD
Wow I’m so glad I found your vid. I have almost same truck, same color but mine is an automatic D250 not 4x4. But as clean as your with 148,000 miles on my Cummins Turbo Diesel… Can you please tell me where or area on chassis you bolted on the support bars and also the name of company that sells these metal support bars please
The tie down system is made by torklift. It comes with instructions on how to install everything. Frame mounted tie downs are key. We need to make a video about this…
Great helpful video for a new slide on truck camper owner. Was that a rug you stored up front drivers side bed? I like your truck, mine is a regualr cab restored 1972 Chevy 3/4 ton LB. I'll need new mirrors but probably not west coast like you have, they look nice on your truck. Gonna bing watch your channel, good stuff, liked and subbed.
Yes, we store our outdoor mat up front. If you do this with items be very careful that they are out of the way and that you do not to set the camper down on them. Thank you and we appreciate your sub. Enjoy our videos 🙂
All good. Check your lights before you lower camper. Camper wiring harness sometimes not making full connection. Put truck in neutral with e brake applied (auto or stick). Allows camper to seat properly (you should see truck move slightly forward as camper rests)without stressing bed front,camper or rubber bumpers/wood .
Just an FYI: There's a loose wire or something in the mic on your camera. I'm listen with good headphones and it's almost painful. :) Overdubbing was fine.
Thank you! We've been dealing with mic issue for a while, sorry it's so bad! Also dealing with a hard drive crash...ahhh!!! 🤦♀️ Doing our best to fix all issues for quality videos it's a bit hard to do on the road though. We hope you bare with us during these trying times ☺️
@@DestinatioNow No worries at all. Just thought I'd mention it in case no one else had. :) Gotta love/hate computers! Sorry to hear about the HD. Hope you have success! Just started watching your vid's. Nice job on them! And nice job on the jack fix. The bent leg must have require a change of shorts! I can't imagine. Glad it worked out ok.
And when you go to tie down the cab over truck with the metal tie down do fasten them like really tight or is wood supposed to crackle??? Or is that too tight at that point?!? Thanks
Look into the fast gun tie downs by torklift. They have a spring inside that allows the frame to twist while keeping tension on everything. They even include a rubber grommet to mark the proper tension.
I have a truck camper and I’m afraid to load it onto my truck it fell over once before it had the pos stable lift system and it ripped out my flooring in the right side I installed new jacks but I’m afraid of dropping my camper again or smashing my truck
We almost tipped ours over once when a leg buckled, very scary experience. Just do your best to be on level ground and take your time to make sure all legs are moving to keep it level. Go slow and you should be fine.
@@DestinatioNow that stabile lift system I had on was missing a bolt on the right side so the frame was able to fold the the bottom tubbing as I drove over the support rails in the front I pulled forward to readjusts and then slow fell to one side
Our truck is a 1 ton and has many modifications to carry this camper. We would definitely recommend a dually for anyone else looking to do the same thing.
Nice and clear... Looks easy!! 😊😊😊😊😊
It is with a little practice

I was impressed the rear suspension held up but my front definitely needs new moog springs and shocks bad. I
storing stuff in front of the wheel wells is smooth, thanks!
You’re welcome ☺️

You have a link for that velcro holding up those 2x6s by any chance?

Step 1......argue with your wife.
Lol. We've actually discussed writing a book about how to keep your marriage together while backing a camper
All good. Check your lights before you lower camper. Camper wiring harness sometimes not making full connection. Put truck in neutral with e brake applied (auto or stick). Allows camper to seat properly (you should see truck move slightly forward as camper rests)without stressing bed front,camper or rubber bumpers/wood .
Good advice, thanks!
I’m about to get one for my single cab 95 powerstroke . Lance does it bother u having it hang over the front that much ??
@@rickfrancis5480 no it’s actually nice sometimes because it keeps the sun out of your eyes. Enjoy your new Lance, we have a blast in ours.

You shouldn't be hearing wood crackle, that is too tight. Ours spin to adjust the tightness. You want just snug, not over tight.
@@DestinatioNow but wont it fall out if its not on tight?
Also i had a plastic bed liner on truck can i leave it on the bed or is that not too safe?
Thank you for your response

Yes guys your gonna need air bags for a even ride I have a Dodge 3500 1Ton single rear wheel and my truck drops a good three to four inches
I have a truck camper and I’m afraid to load it onto my truck it fell over once before it had the pos stable lift system and it ripped out my flooring in the right side I installed new jacks but I’m afraid of dropping my camper again or smashing my truck

Yikes!
I installed new reico titan jacks this passed Wednesday but I’m afraid to laid it on my own
I’m sure it will be fine, you’ve got this
One time it took me an hour (by my self) Just about every curse word was said by me, another time it took me 15 minutes.
Sometimes that’s just how it goes, but practice definitely makes it easier.
@@DestinatioNow Thats for sure!!! 100%
That camper looks way to big for a single axle, 3/4 ton truck.
Our truck is a 1 ton and has many modifications to carry this camper. We would definitely recommend a dually for anyone else looking to do the same thing.
