I like the video, however the real fun part is making sure your camper is perfectly centered on the bed of the truck. I’ve done this so many times that it’s easy for me. However, many newcomers to the truck camper life will find this to be the most difficult problem they’ll face.
Yeah, guaranteed he had it all lined up and just pulled straight out so he could just back straight in! 🤣 (Fair enough, saves us watching what we already know) 18 yrs and sometimes I nail it after just a few back and forth. Other times I just about wear the hinges off the truck door getting in and out so much! LOL! No rhyme or reason.
Thanks Warren….you make it look easy. Im always afraid if I set my jack controller down I’ll forget about it so I carry it in a belt hung holster. Piece of mind for me. What material are you using on the inside of your wheel wells of your truck bed? Thanks!
@@NorthernLiteTruckCampers thank you, I was watching one of your walk around videos, which explained that the gap is to avoid damaging the front of the truck bed as the camper is lowered in.
@@efox2001 And if you want to avoid the bumpers messing up your bed liner or paint, get a 1/4" to 3/8" piece of good plywood cut to fit against the back bed wall. Bumpers will rub on that while driving instead of your bed. Plus, if you have an aluminum box, even go 1/2" ply. The aluminum doesn't handle the small surface contact area like steel. The ply will disperse the bumper impact.

Just pieces of carpet glued in place works fantastic.
@@warrendarbyson9808 That's something I keep meaning to make myself!
Do you have a cargo camera? Great video.
Warren,
Curious what truck / diesel you're driving 2500 ? GMC?
Thanks
Thank you
Why do you leave a gap between the rubber bumpers?
The bumpers should make contact with the front of the truck bed when fully lowered

Forget to plug in the umbilical cord
