How Do You Put Jacks on a Truck Camper?

Putting jacks on a truck camper is a relatively easy job to do if you have the right tools and know-how. Jacks are an important safety feature for any truck camper, as they help keep the rig from swaying and shifting while on the road.

If your truck camper does not have jacks, it is highly recommended that you get them installed. Here are some simple steps to follow when putting jacks on a truck camper:

Step 1: Choose a Jack
The first step in putting jacks on a truck camper is to choose the right jack. There are many types of jacks available on the market, but there are two main types: mechanical and hydraulic.

Mechanical jacks are often cheaper, but they require more manual labor to operate. Hydraulic jacks, on the other hand, are more expensive but require less effort to use. Depending upon your budget and how often you plan to use your camper, you will need to choose which type of jack best suits your needs.

Step 2: Mount and Secure the Jacks
Once you have chosen your jack(s), it’s time to mount them on your truck camper. You will need a drill for this step, as well as screws that fit into the holes that are pre-drilled in the camper body for mounting jacks. Once all of your screws are in place, make sure that each jack is secured tightly so that it won’t move around while driving.

Step 3: Connecting Wiring Harness
Most modern jack models come with wiring harnesses that need to be connected in order for them to work properly. This wiring harness needs to be connected between each jack and its corresponding switch or control panel located inside of the cab of your truck.

Step 4: Test Jacks

Once all steps above have been completed correctly, it’s time to test out your new jacks! To do this, simply turn on each switch or control panel located inside of the cab and make sure that each jack responds correctly when activated.

If everything works correctly then congratulations – you have just successfully installed jacks onto your truck camper!

Conclusion:

Installing jacks onto a truck camper isn’t as hard as it may seem – with the right tools and knowledge anyone can do it! Just make sure you read through these instructions carefully before beginning so that everything goes smoothly.
