Jacks for a truck camper

Adwittoutdoors · #1 10-10-2016, 02:06 AM

Hey all. I've gotten my hands on a truck camper and I'm going to convert it over to a ice fishing hut. I was wondering what you guys use to get the camper off the back of a 1/2 ton truck. The camper I have doesn't have the leg jacks and the price of a set of 4 are outrageous !!! Some ideas or suggestions would be great to hear. Thanks

4 Jack all' lol. The winch style jacks can be found pretty cheap, the hydro style are pricey

Look on kijiji for some used hyd jacks. You might get lucky and find 4 for a few hundred bucks. Buy an old beat up camper for a couple hundred and salvage the jacks off it.

Lots of old campers in farm yards. May find a set there if you knock on a door. As mentioned, Kijiji would be good to search.
