Done something really stupid?

[GVWRLOL]

Idk if it counts as REALLY dumb but definitely not my best moment. 2nd day in a row that while making coffee I opened a packet of creamer, dumped it in the trash, then dropped the empty packet into my coffee.

Get a few sips of coffee in you prior to opening the creamer. It just might help.

Well. Guess I'll take the time to adjust the camera now that it's too late. Ooof.

Wow -- nothing sez "I NEED COFFEE" quite like this!

Ouch. What did the dog say? (I see the leg so know it was clearly watching the entire incident).

She did that look at the tailgate, look slowly up at me, then back to the tailgate. I know she was saying something along the lines of "way to go dad, ya nailed it"

Thought I was so clever, "I'll just use the car as an anchor and drag it over a bit"
"Too low, maybe the pole will work and I can shuffle it"

"Nope"
Anybody got a plan C? A and B were epic fails.

Use the jacks and lift slightly, then push it the direction or kick the bottom of the jack at the ground. Use plywood or something that the base can slide easily with less friction. Lower the jack when done.

What Patrick said…

That technique doesn't really work on this one, it only has 3 jacks and will pivot on 1 of them, it's just way too sketchy for me. I ended up ordering a winch, I figure Ill need it more than I won't with this 7k lb 2wd monstrosity.
Check out Warrior Winches and get you one.

2 corner jacks and two floor jacks with a 4x4 to work the other corners. Might need help with one of the floor jacks. Instead of moving the floor jack, you'll have to push the camper at the corner. But you should be able to move the fixed stock jack at the bottom in the direction needed.

Just need to be cautious protecting the truck fender from the 4x4 if it wants to spit toward the fender. Massive blankets???

You could use the three jacks placed on some slippery poly material and work each base of the three jacks until it pivots where you need it.

Work it with what is good for you.

Portable winch -- fantastic idea!

Not at all a bad price considering how practical it seems to be. Supposed to arrive Monday and I'm going to do a review on my YouTube channel where I'll be loading a 5k lb car on a flatbed, dragging my truck through some mud, and maybe even attempting to pull a stump.

I've had a few people tell me the winch will be too weak at only 6,000 lbs. This is why it's not.
