Yes Rusty got it. Jacks are down for convenience since I'm trying to get the loading right.

First outing! Lots of steep grades and twisty mountain roads. Truck and camper go together like a pea in a pod :)

I have approximately 1/8" clearance between camper and the sides. However the brackets in the front sit on the sides. I'll be working on that. I bolted the camper through the floor with a 1" bolt through a 24" x 10" piece of sheet steel to the 5th wheel hitch. Hopefully this will prevent any...

A couple of questions about mounting the camper again. Does the camper need to have any weight sitting on the sidewalls of the truck bed? or should there be an equal distribution of weight between the floor as well as the sides?

My apologies, probably not the right place for this but could be a nice camper for someone. https://yuma.craigslist.org/rvs/6007988166.html

Ok very good, thanks.

I got my fantastic fan working! Seems to be original to the camper and is reversible. I'm missing the garnish trim ring. Anybody know which size to order?

Perfect thanks!

I need 2 new 14" roof vents. One has a fan the other doesn't. Any recommendations? I see prices all over the place.

Great insight Rusty! I'll keep my eyes out for a happijac system.

Thanks for the pointer ripper. I'm hesitant to get the torklift simple because of the high expense. Happijac doesn't make a tie down for my truck. So I'm left with a home built system. Thinking of a hybrid bolt down and bumper mount system.

The cylinder brackets are right next to the overhead rack mounts on this camper so no worries. I'm wondering what the best way to fasten the camper to the truck is? I'm thinking of bolting it to the bed so it flexes with the bed as a unit.

I've been slowly plugging away at the camper. I pulled of the monster rack off and spent the morning removing silicone, lots of it.. The camper is a little beat up but adds character :)

Yes the jacks were bolted to the 4x4s. I removed the 4x4s and attached the jacks to their brackets.

The 4x4s were installed to clear a double axle trailer and yes the reico jacks came with the camper :) I just lowered the top for the first time in 8 years, it came down with a bit of coaxing, this was very cool. The rack will probably come off and yes the vents have lost their seal and the...

Thanks for the warm welcomes and for the pdf electrical diagram. I'll investigate further. Here's a pic of the camper freshly loaded on the truck. It needs tlc having sat for nearly a decade without use but is in solid condition.

Hi all new guy here, I just picked up my first Alaskan camper and am excited to go exploring and wander the west. I'm sure I'll have a bunch of questions but first on the list is wondering what the switch by the thermostat does? This is a 1996 cabover camper with a furnace. I'll post pictures as...
