Wow! I'm sure some of you have seen my posts about moving this Eagle camper from my Dakota to the RAM. What a job. I used everything I had. What I basically did was jack the camper up off my dolly. Then supported it at the height I needed with lumber (on top of the dolly). I had about 1.5' off the front of the dolly. I got that on the truck. Then repeated a few times. I got about 1/3 of the way on the truck. Then I was stuck because I couldn't get the jacks under the camper and lift it. I put a piece of chain link fence post under the camper! Long story short, I bascially rolled/pushed it on the truck at that point but I had to get the pipe out. I used some scissor jacks on either side of the camper in front, another jack on the back of the camper.
I used all new grade 8, 1/2" hardware (eye bolts, washers, etc.) and backing plates on both the inside and outside.
We're headed to Baja in late Jan or early Feb so that will be the first big trip. Did a shake down drive up towards the ski resort today to see how it'd do on uphills and winding roads. No issues.
So, here's before and after pictures.
