Camper Storage
Your camper is designed to be stored on the jacks. We recommend 4”x 4” pieces
of ¾” plywood under each jack pad. The camper should never be left in the air
with the jacks fully extended. Always lower the camper as low as the jacks will
allow and keep the front 2” higher than the rear. If you choose to add additional
support using blocks or saw horses, you must have a full ¾” sheet of plywood
between the bottom of the camper and the blocks or saw horses so that the
weight is evenly distributed. Failing to do this may result in damage to your
camper. Always store camper level left to right with the front higher than the
rear.
Camping off the Truck
When using your Northern Lite camper off the truck it needs to be in a flat and
level location. You should lower the camper as low to the ground as the jacks will
allow, keeping the front higher than the rear. The steps can be used in the stowed
position as there is nonskid on both sides of the steps. We don’t recommend using
a camper equipped with dually swing out brackets off the truck.
Long term usage
RV’s are not designed for long term continuous usage. If you are going to use your
camper for extended periods it is very important to control the moisture in your
unit in both winter and summer in high humidity areas. In winter always use your
stove exhaust fan when cooking and run for extended periods afterwards to
remove all extra moisture from cooking. Always run the bathroom fan after
showering until the shower is dry. Keeping the heat at a steady temperature and
not setting back at night will help keep moisture down. We recommend
maintaining 74F degrees in the winter. It is important to vent the camper during
winter use using a roof vent or window. During summer in high humidity areas
your air conditioner will help lower the humidity when in cooling mode. In some
areas during winter and summer extended stays you may also require a
dehumidifier to maintain the humidly levels in your camper.
