Very nice.

You couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather.

I love the pic with the Heron.

Just one thing I noticed that you don't use a "box" under the camper when you set it down? My BIL made a pad for his Lance. He just doesn't trust those jacks.

And to see that little stroller underneath it like that.

I'd hate to see one of your boys go under there to get something and.... Maybe I just couldn't see in the pic.

Enjoy your camping this year.

Hey guys thanks for the nice comments....we are having a blast with the tc...Rollincool yea I am new to this and i dont let them under there I just had it stored under there...I do think it is a little rocky so I lower it about as low as it will go..I thought about using jack stands and welding some angle on them for some more support I have looked at 100 pics on here to see what you experienced guys do but I have not found too much any suggestions are welcome to the rookie

He, (my BIL) actually built a box that assembles once at the campground that it sits on. He has never complained about the "wobblyness" anymore. Some campground/rvparks won't let you drop the camper out of the back of the truck if you leave it up on the jacks like that. There are some people that use some cement blocks with 2 x 12 boards to set it down on. Whatever it takes I suppose.

I'm sure some TC people will chime in on what they use.
