I'm fond of my wife as well partner, but when loading my camper She's more headache then help, lol! Your old camper looks alot like mine but yours is more high tech with hydraulic jacks and all. I'm cranking mine up with the old screw jacks (just 3 of them) and it can be a work out. Are you hauling yours with a 1/2 ton? I do without any trouble.
@funkeytoad08 Those aren't hydraulics. It's a jack system. Probably looks like hydraulic 'cause it's high speed. That's a 3/4 ton Dodge. Things a bit heavy but it's the wind resistance that hinders it more than anything else. Drinks gas like crazy when I haul it, especially if there's any head wind. But it sure makes a neat little home away from home when we get there.. hahaha.
Cool video - what a workout !
Anyway electric jacks can be installed on old campers?

That was funny! Looks about like me loading mine, except there is no wife involved when I do it, lol. Faster and easier without her around.
