Hi. Totally new to slide in campers (coming from a '72 VW Westy oh boy). I could use a little advice. I mounted a 1986 Six-Pac camper onto 12x8x12 cement blocks 3 tall so a couple feet in the air (used to sit on a trailer that's since been taken away). Works well in general, but as I've jacked the camper up and down a bit playing with it all the whole setup has become skewed a little. Now I'm afraid to jack it up any further for fear it'll just slide off the block mounts. I usually jack each point 5-6 "cranks" then move to another point. Obviously that was too much.
I can't seem to find a way to move the front two mount points to the right from their currently slid over left points. The back two are still good-ish. Are there tricks to this? I can't just mount it on the truck yet as I'm waiting for Timbrens/tie downs etc. etc.
Here's a little ASCII art (LOL) to try and demonstrate how it's sitting currently. I would like to move ONLY the two front jacks to the right and perhaps back a tad too. Worst case is I just wait and get it on the damn truck, but I'd like to keep working on the interior in the meantime. Thanks for any tips!
