I'm sure it happens all the time with RV dealers. People buy trailers or campers with no way to haul them away. The dealer gets his money and now you have to pay the dealer to store it.

A couple discolored spots that looked like a tree branch might have rubbed on while stored but nothing that couldn't be rubbed out. But as I said I was not able to get on the very top.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to check the floor. It is sitting on a pallet that is on top of a dolly.
We have a chain of storage lots called Republic Storage. I have stored stuff there over the years and have never had any problems. IIRC 35' outside is $45 and 25' covered is $70.
My dually is set up for hauling a camper but being a dually might be a problem. I also have a 16' flatbed car hauler. We could somehow secure it to the trailer and store them both as a unit might be an option. As long as you picked it up by Spring as I might need to haul the Jeep to Moab!!! Who knows? I may even be enticed for a trip back East this Spring!!
I will certainly help you out any way I can. Just Holler!!!
DJ,
The trailer idea could work! Otherwise, we could use a Sawsall to remove the fenders/extra wheels on your dually which would get you back to a real truck that doesn’t collect rocks between the tires off-road and tracks well in rutty trail conditions along with not being a terror to drive in the snow! (can you tell I’m not a dually fan lol!)
I see REICO TITAN still makes the still makes the old style jacks but getting them installed could get into more of a project then I am capable of doing quickly/remotely. I think it could be lifted enough to get a trailer under it easily enough though where I can deal with the jacks in the future. Time is really tight between now and the first of the year but after that I could pick it up when the snow breaks. I will of course compensate you for your time and trouble.
I have a line on another one right now that supposable has perfect skin also so I’ll see where I can find the best deal/overall cost in the next few days and will let you know. If I come up there it will likely be next Saturday (Nov 14th) if that works for you. Will you be around that day?
Again, thank you for being so cool!
P.S. A trip "back east" sometime would be cool. I think you might like seeing my "toy" garage and would love to have you stop by anytime!
Looking for any information available on Del Rey "Sky Lounge" and Kamp King slide-ins for preservation/restoration projects.

They were crank-up, bolt on, two half-inch bolts with two jacks on the driver's side and one jack on the passenger side. You WILL need spacers to be able to back a dually underneath. I just used some (8", I think) pieces of square steel tubing to extend the jacks out. Mine went with the camper. With the spacers in place, you could not fold them up to sit in the rings.
Ticki2, thanks for the info on the front dinette, you learn something new every day. This is the first one of those I had seen or heard of.
My Blue Heaven,
Thank you, I’m 6’4’’ also and want too be able to stand up for sure! Did yours have an air conditioner and if it did, was it problematic with your height in its placement? I had a camper in the past that was a PITA ducking around the A/C all the time!
Also, I know the jack configuration you are talking about and that three jack style will not work for me for sure since all of them I’ve seen in the past were kinda tippy. I will convert it to a four jack setup if I buy it.
Even though the old style jacks are not as stable as the new ones, they do look good going down the road when they are in the "up" position unlike today's campers.

Do it up front, save the storage money, and have the camper exactly where you want it. They use rented fork trucks to load and unload... I've watched them at Lance factory and when the dealers recieve them.
Sleepy
Thanks Sleepy, that’s an idea also but if I can get this in covered storage and deal with it later would work out best for me right now. I’ve been thinking of taking some time off this spring to go out west with the ATV’s anyway and this would be the perfect excuse for that!
Also, any dings in the skin from loading/transporting would likely end up with dings in the perpetrators head(s) and then somebody would need too come bail me outta jail!
