Why should I consider electric jacks for my truck camper?

Hydraulic vs. Electrical Jacks

If you have corner hydraulic jacks for your slide in truck camper, you may want to consider replacing them with electric. Electric jacks allow you to raise and lower the camper with an average load or unload time of 20 minutes. Some electric jacks even come with remote control to raise and lower all jacks together. Sometimes newer campers are prewired for electrical jacks and higher-end models will come standard with them. If you decide to change your jacks, consult your RV service center for installation.

Having a truck camper doesn't have to be hard work. Save your sweat for the fun stuff and go electric!
