I have a small skamper popup camper and it has the 3 jack configuration. Is it possible for a 200lb man to sleep up top while its on the stands. I have wanted to try it but I have visions of it tipping over. It's the smallest skamper popup truck camper for 6' beds. I think its the O60S

msasso, I don't know about the skamper but I have a Bigfoot Truck Camper, when it's off the truck, I always support the Cab-over portion with a homemade wooden stand. I think it's probably a good idea to use a "saw-horse" type support structure under the cab-over portion of your camper! You can make one like I did for about $100 dollars and not worry when you are in it!

Msasso, I had a 060S and would not sleep in it on the stands or even on a sawhorses alone. I would recommend that you support the cab over portion, or tie the back down to the ground mimicking when it is securely attached to a truck.
