    Question. What do you all use for a jack for the camper? My floor jack doesn’t fit under the leaf springs. Is it okay to connect next to leaf spring on the axle? It’s a solid axle with a drop down for the drums and hubs assembly. Just found this while getting the tire and rims off for replacement.

    Maiden Voyage… To Watkins State Park. About 1 hour away…. Lots of wind today, so the ride up was kinda of fun. Amazing how much wind it catches… Getting settled down for the evening. AC is cooling off the rig and looks like probably have a issue with refrigerator will know more later on.

    As long as the a/c keeps working you will be good, no a/c this weekend in one of those aluminum boxes would be tough.
