Hopefully this will help anyone looking to put a FWC on a dually.  This might also help someone looking to save a little money by using different jacks than the standard Reico Titan’s.  You can get “take offs” for about half the cost if you look around or just ask.  I got a set of Happyjack 4150’s from FWC when I picked mine up. 

 

After some measuring I drew up what I wanted in google sketchup and went to a local fab shop to see what they could do. 

 

Front extensions (10”)

Rear “adaptor” brackets.

I should of cut the corners off to make it look better but it works.  Total cost including paint was $150.  I'm thinking I might leave the rear jacks on since my truck is plenty high and I don't think clearance is an issue.  I also have to say even with the extension, the camper is pretty stable.  much more stable than the last camper I had.  The FWC frame is stout!

 

Wish I had more space.  End up removing one side to get it in the corner.

Dolly worked fine but was not real easy to shove around.  Some may notice I did add a little reinforcement.  Didn’t even grown when I set it down. 

 

Had a few inches to spare....

There have been several threads on extension brackets and I've wondered if anyone has ever tried just bolting a 2x6 or 2x8 across the front of the camper and then bolting the jacks to the board. Not pretty but cheap.

When I got my camper the seller didn't have extension brackets or jacks. He borrowed a set of jacks and mades some plywood extension for the transfer
