I just looked out the window, to the neighbors yard, and thought that that didn't look right ????

The back leg went through the camper, before it punched out:eek:

No wind.... I think it had to do with the warm weather we've been having, and the ground thawed enough to make it go over.

crazy to leave it standing on the jacks, I put mine on 45 gal drums and have the legs down with a bit of pressure on them for stability.

We have electric jacks on our Bigfoot camper and we lower the camper down all the way. It is about 6" off the ground. It takes awhile to lift it again to load but it is worth the safety. When we had an older camper we always put it on saw horses and a sheet of plywood and out of the wind.

Yup, should have had barrels, or saw horses or something underneath to take the pressure of the legs........ We used to use barrels with a crate on top of them.....you got lotsa time before summer, so get'r'done;)
