2) Position jack so when camper jack is lowered, the
notch and raised tab engage to prevent rotation.
3) Repeat the process for the other front mounted jack.
4) Follow the standard camper loading and removal
procedures below.
Leveling/Stabilizing Jacks
Prior to lowering the jacks, try and park on a flat level spot
whenever possible; certainly, never on a steep slope. If it is not
possible to move to a more level location, use wood blocks
under the truck tires to assist in leveling. Be sure that the block
is larger than the “footprint” of the tire.
No part of the tire should ever “hang over” the edge of the
block. This includes trucks with dual rear tires. This can cause
internal damage to the tire. Being level is necessary for
comfort, but it is also required for correct operation of your
refrigerator. The jacks should only be used to stabilize the
camper when attached to the truck.
NOTE: Attempting to level your camper and truck using the
jacks can overload your jacks and cause damage to the jacks,
your camper, and tie-down system.
NOTE: If you are unsure of the process, please consult your
Nücamp RV dealer.
Support Equipment
Air Bags
Adding air bags can improve vehicle ride, safety, in handling,
and load hauling. Air bags are used to maintain proper weight
distribution to all the tires to improve steering, braking and tire
wear. Air bags increase spring rate and improve your truck
and camper stability. Air bags are used to raise your loaded
truck back to the normal ride height. A level, balanced vehicle
handles better and provides a safer, more comfortable ride.
Heavy Duty Shocks
An adjustable shock absorber can significantly increase ride
performance in all types of driving conditions, on and off-
road.
Tie downs and Turnbuckles

anchor bolts for
tightness before each
trip and tighten as
needed.
The camper must be secured to the truck with high quality tied
downs and turnbuckles. The turnbuckles must be spring or
shock loaded.

Hitching and Towing Systems
A Torklift hitch system is recommended for use when towing
with your truck and Nücamp RV camper. The Super Hitch
Receiver, along with a custom designed bar extension for
campers over 8’ are available from authorized Torklift
Dealers. It can be used with a standard weight carrying ball
mount, or for added capacity, a weight distributing hitch bar
and ball mount.
Qualified personnel should install hitch systems only. Towing
will change the handling and braking characteristics of your
truck/camper package. Do not tow from or attach a hitch bar
or ball to the camper bumper.
Below are two links with the recommended hitch systems if
you desire to use it to tow a trailer.
