We live in our 2015 86SBS and regularly remove the camper from the truck (and camp in it). We always lower the camper so that the step just misses the ground but this leaves about 10 inches of jack extended. The manual says that "all our campers are designed to be used off the truck", so we assume that what we are doing is OK. The manual does not say that we should be adding additional support under the camper when on the jacks so we do not.
We have yet to experience any problems from doing this but a number of our co camping friends seem to think that we are doing something rather dangerous. One has even suggested that we should even empty all the water tanks before using the jacks!
We are just wondering if anyone out there has any experience that would suggest we are doing the right or wrong thing
