What is the general rule for traveling with the camper jacks? Do most people keep them attached to the camper or just take them off and leave them at home?
Thanks

Unless you have need to take your camper off of the truck when camping, then best to leave them at home. There was a fellow on here a while ago that got his jacks tangled into vegetation and kept going -- resulting in severe damage to his camper. Another fellow hit a mailbox. Both campers appeared unusable after that.

When I had my camper installed by FWC in 2014, I was advised to remove the jacks unless I was going to unload the camper. It made an impression on me when the installer said that it would likely exceed $2000 if someone tapped a jack when trying to pull into an adjacent parking space because corners were really tough to repair.
Who was I to argue with a factory service tech.

Had some time today and finally took a couple pictures of the truck and camper. So far so good. I like it and notice there are no jacks mounted. They are in the barn. I thank all for the input, as always, you are very helpful.
