Hey WarpathEngineering
when you feel a little better, you should take the camper off the truck and re-check the camper eye bolts.
there could be a chance that you ripped one or more out of the camper base.
we had a driver a few years back forget to remove 1 out of the 4 turn buckles.
he heard a loud pop as he was raising the camper off the truck, he ended up pulling the eye bolt out of the camper
but it can be fiexed and re-inforced pretty easy in most cases.
just call or e-mail if you see anything wierd and I can show you by pics & phone how to take care of it.

To revisit this old post!
I'm pretty new to truck campers, in fact I'm brand new and mine has been apart for the better part of a year now. I just got the thing recovered with new siding, clamped the unfinished top back on it and drove it home to my house to start working on the interior this weekend. Didn't want to drive around town with it with the side liner only attached to the roof so......I tried to take it off the truck.
Has anyone ever tried to rotate their truck tires using the camper jacks? It doesn't work so well with the camper moaning and poping. It took my brother, who lives just next door (thank God!) to come over and say that the whole truck, camper, jacks and all looked to be leaning kind of funny. I had forgotten to remove the camper tie downs!
The ones I had put on just 30 minutes before!
I'm sick at the thought of how bad I may have #@%^ed the camper up by the noise it was making, I almost can't bear to look inside. I just had to lower the jacks and walk away!
All I can say is these things are built so tough that even a bone head like me can use them (I hope)!
