Picked up these hydraulic “Hijacker” camper jacks off Craigslist recently ($60 used, not bad!). I needed a way to lift the camper off the truck to finish up some of the welding on the bottom, and to paint the camper. They work great. Thought about getting some tripod jacks like these but decided to go with something more permanent.
I think I will also use the jacks to level and stabilize the camper when it’s parked. They’re easily removable so they can be stowed while driving.
All the fuel hoses hooked up on the new (well used actually) 40 gallon fuel tank. I ended up having to put screw type hose clamps on after this photo due to some air leaks preventing the truck from starting. The hose sizes are 3/8 and 7/16, which I don’t think are perfect matches to the metric tube sizes on the truck, thus the need for some extra clamping force.
back to working on the camper. drilling holes to mount the new fuel tank, using a milwaukee electromagnetic drill press. it clamps on to the frame using an electromagnet. cool!
