I took the camper off the truck for only the second time since purchasing it in 2007 last month. I snapped a few pictures to show how easy it is to use the corner jacks with dollies.
I had to use a cable hoist to move the camper up hill into the garage. I used the corner eyelets as hitch points going up and in. Going back out, gravity was my friend. The camper was balanced pretty well, which made it easy to roll out ( and in) one corner at a time.
The key here is to move slowly, paying close attention to side forces on the jacks. Trying to muscle over a cinder is probably not as good an idea as removing the cinder from beneath the dolly wheel.
Note the gap under the driver side rear jack...
It was almost effortless to align the camper perfectly with the truck bed this way.
A little snug at the wheels, but not a problem; just take it slow.
Elapsed time: about a half hour. Now for the hard part: Installing the turnbuckles.
