When I went to pull my camper off the trailer I bought it on I discovered that one of the jacks was bound up, luckly I had access to an off road forklift so I used it to set the camper in the truck really quick.

The mystery of this camper just kills me.. It was made in 88' but is too short to fit an 88-98 Chevy...:smilies27 From what ive read online that body style has one of the lowest bed to cab heights.
I was able to get the jacks working and when I used them to unload the camper from the truck for the first time I discovered that they were a little skinny for this truck. I had to pretty much drive over one to make it happen, serious pucker factor..
I had some .250 wall 3" sq tube laying around so I did some measuring and decided 6" wider would put me in the ball park.

The drivers side mounts had seen better days so I repaired them with new blocks and new 3" 3/8" hardware that goes all the way thru the floor.

All this in preparation for some camping and the Hill Climb at the end of this month. :costumed-smiley-007
