How NOT To Remove Your Truck Camper from Your Truck

I saw this video on YouTube and I just cringed with dread.

The description was bad enough:

Redneck Camper Removal

The Canadian way of removing a camper. 1 redneck driving. 4 rednecks and a 150 lb Lanseer Newfoundlander giving instructions!!!

At this point, I was just squirming with discomfort.

How NOT to remove a truck camper from Starling Travel

The proper way to remove your truck camper is to raise it with the lifts and then slowly pull the truck forward. After the truck is clear, you lower the lifts until the camper is stable (although leaving on the ground can cause rot).

This particular camper was recycled, so the damage it might have incurred being removed like this wasn’t important. In the end, they just parted it out.

NOTE TO TREE-HUGGERS….WE ARE GREEN “REDNECKS” …. WE RECYCLED EVERYTHING from the camper …. then of course BURNED the rest. WE had enough money for 10 cases of BEER (CANADIAN of course!!)

Here is a fast forward video of the proper way to load up a truck camper.
