Ouch, that stings!
Iowahiker, Yesterday I posted a question about the shims, you replied, and then I posted that I had made 2" x 4' shims with a piece of TPO fleeceback roofing on one side to provide a little cushion. I really must be a geezer, because today none of our back and forth appears in this post.iowahiker said:Interesting way of changing the geometry. I also thought of using a jack under my hitch receiver to take the springs out of the motion but sliding the camper forward on our hill is fairly quick and easy. Thanks for sharing an interesting option.
On another note, when we first picked up our camper at the distributor Sean said to back slowly and make sure the bumpers were against the front of the bed, and then lower the front down first and the back last which will keep the bumpers tight against the front of the bed. Now Brian suggests lowering the back first and then the front. Even with a flashlight I couldn't tell whether the front bumpers were against the bed.
I also placed 1-1/2 roofing insulation (12" x 12") piece between the rear side of the camper, on both sides, and the the rear of the truck where the tailgate connects. That kept the rear from sliding, but one of them blew out due to airflow so I need to tape it in place on the next trip. jd
