ABOUT THIS MANUAL
The Operator’s Manual for your new camper is designed to answer the most frequently asked questions
regarding the operation, function, and care of the many systems that make modern camping a
pleasure.
For more complete instructions regarding safety, maintenance and operation of the items included in
your camper, carefully read the booklets supplied by the component manufacturers. All information
contained in this manual may not relate to your specic model; however, booklets supplied by the
component manufacturers and included in your Owner’s Packet will provide any additional information
needed. These manuals and iers supersede all statements in this manual and are the ultimate guide to
heed in relation to each appliance and component. You are responsible for reading, understanding and
following the instructions pertaining to the tow vehicle as well as the instructions in this manual.
All information in this handbook should be considered a permanent part of the trailer and should be
transferred to the new owners if the trailer is ever sold.
Optional items may be available on some or all models. Additionally, some optional items can only
be included during the manufacturing phase and cannot later be added to the trailer. The mention
of optional items in this manual does not imply or suggest the availability, application suitability, or
inclusion for any specic unit.
All operating procedures in this manual are designed as typical under normal conditions. Safe
operation and use of any nuCamp camper is the sole responsibility of the owner. nuCamp will not be
liable for any injury or loss sustained from the observance or non-observance of any procedures or
safety warnings supplied in this manual or in any third-party manuals or guides supplied within the unit.
This manual may have occasional tips to enhance your experience of the recreational and camping
lifestyle. While this may be helpful, this manual is not designed as a camping guide but rather as a
guide in how to operate your camper for maximum enjoyment.
This manual does not in any way create a warranty, whether express or implied. The information in
this manual is not meant in any way to supplement, modify, or change the terms and conditions of
your camper’s warranty, or any warranties offered on any component by its manufacturer.
At nuCamp we actively work to provide improved and better information about the use of our
products. If you have helpful information that you think may benet fellow nuCamp product owners,
you may submit it via e-mail to [e-mail] with a subject of “Owner’s Manual” and your
submission will be considered for the next update.
FOREWORD

DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
When you purchase your camper, nuCamp expects the following of the dealer:
1. Perform a Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI). The inspection must include the testing of all systems
and components installed in your new camper. Your camper must pass the PDI test before it
is eligible to be sold to you. nuCamp does not control dealer actions and is not responsible for
an incomplete PDI.
2. Give you a complete tour of your camper’s appliances and features and teach you how to
operate each of the systems.
3. Prepare your camper for your rst camping trip with all equipment in running order and ready to
be used.
4. Provide you, the owner, access to this Owner’s Manual.
5. Provide and explain to you the nuCamp One Year Limited Warranty, Three Year Limited Structure
Warranty and the Warranty Claim Procedure.
6. Register your One Year Limited Warranty online at www.nucamprv.com.
7. Provide you with two sets of door keys and all remotes needed to operate select appliances and
components in your camper.
8. Provide you with the complete Owner Package which has all component user manuals and other
complimentary items from nuCamp. This is located within the camper when shipped
from nuCamp.
9. Assist you in locating model and serial numbers of each installed component and walk you
through activating the manufacturer warranties.
10. Discuss and plan with you what to do in case of service needed on your camper, whether local or
abroad. This includes repairs not under warranty.
11. Service the full nuCamp lineup. From time to time an owner will have an emergency while in
transit. In such an event, every nuCamp dealer is strongly encouraged (and expected) to
accommodate such repairs. Please note: nuCamp dealers are independently owned
and operated and possess the ability to refuse service. Furthermore, a nuCamp dealer
that does not sell truck campers is not required, nor expected to, perform work on said product.
OWNER RESPONSIBILITY
Before, during and after the purchasing process of your new camper, nuCamp expects the following of
you, the owner:
1. You fully inspected the entire camper for any kind of defects and have found it acceptable, clean,
and completely free of damage.
2. You acquired access to this Owner’s Manual.
3. You were shown how to operate each feature and function of your new camper and are fully
aware of the maintenance schedule required to keep your camper in excellent operating order.
4. You have agreed to be responsible to properly maintain your new purchase and perform any
needed service in a timely manner.
5. You have read and understood all safety messages in various locations on the camper and
in this manual. You have agreed that nuCamp is not liable for any warranty coverage
or compensation for injury or loss sustained through the disregarding of safety messages,
regardless of your awareness. You are fully responsible.
6. With dealer assistance, you have registered all warranties of installed components. To avoid loss
of coverage it is crucial that you activate each warranty registration in the prescribed time limit.
7. You had a chance to review, read and fully understand the nuCamp One Year Limited Warranty,
Three Year Limited Structure Warranty and the Warranty Claim Procedure.
8. You received a copy of One Year Limited Warranty before your purchase was completed. You
read and agreed by written signature to the terms and conditions contained therein.
GETTING STARTED

9. You had any and all questions answered by the dealer.
10. You have responsibly protected yourself and others by acquiring insurance coverage on your
camper. Consult your insurance agent for appropriate coverage before leaving the dealership
with your new camper.
OWNER PACKET
An Owner’s Packet is included in every camper manufactured by nuCamp. This packet includes all your
component user manuals and warranty cards. The Packet and its contents (except for complimentary
items from nuCamp) should be considered a working part of the camper equipment and must be
passed to new owners at any sale.
WARRANTY REGISTRATION
For the best warranty service please be sure that your warranty registration has been submitted to the
Warranty Department at nuCamp. While nuCamp expects your dealer to submit the registration, it will
ultimately be in your best interest to conrm that the warranty registration request has happened. If
you have not received conrmation of the completed warranty registration form, please contact the
nuCamp Warranty Department by phone at 844-823-9112 or email at [e-mail] and
request conrmation. Have your camper’s Vehicle Identication Number (VIN) available when you
contact us.
COMPONENT REGISTRATIONS
Most installed appliances, features and components included with your camper will have a warranty of
some type and some may be eligible for coverage under the nuCamp One Year Limited Warranty. Refer
to the included user manuals in your Owner’s Packet for any information the supplier has listed.
FIRE SAFETY PLAN
In case of re or weather emergencies, it is vital to have a Safety Plan developed for all occupants. The
plan should be rehearsed and frequently practiced. Review the safety warnings in the General Safety
portion of this manual for details. Pay attention to door and emergency exit window locations, re
safety and how to operate safety equipment in your camper.
Educate all occupants on the following:
1. The meaning of each alarm equipped in the camper.
2. The designated outside meeting place a safe distance away from the camper where everyone
gathers in an emergency. This should be chosen at each stop after parking your camper.
3. The instructions for using the emergency exits. Practice nding the exit blindfolded. In case of a
real re, smoke may obstruct your vision.
4. The safety procedure in the event of a re, smoke or gas: stay low to the oor, avoid breathing in
the fumes and exit immediately.
5. The safety procedure in the event clothing catches re: Stop, Drop and Roll. STOP, don’t run,
DROP to the ground, and ROLL back and forth until the re is extinguished. Use your hands
to shield your face from the re. Running will only increase a re.
6. The location of emergency phone numbers and the conditions under which emergency services
should be called
7. The contact information for a friend or relative who will serve as an emergency contact. Make
this information available to all your family members.
Consult your local re department for assistance in compiling a comprehensive Safety Plan for your
specic camper.

EMERGENCIES
Emergency Preparation. Keep an emergency rst aid kit in your camper. A separate kit with essential
tools and supplies should also be compiled. These may come in handy in some emergencies as well as
for any type of troubleshooting that may arise. The tools suitable for your needs may depend largely on
how much boondocking or cold weather camping you do. Boondock camping may take you far away
from the nearest service station and so be prepared to do some of your own maintenance. A common
list of items needed for emergencies, troubleshooting and maintenance is as follows:
Adjustable Wrench Hammer Raincoat
Allen Wrenches Hand Cleaner Road Flares
Car Jack (2-ton) High Visibility Cones Shop Rags
Cordless Drill Ice Scraper Socket/Ratchet Set
Drill Bits & Tips Jumper Cables Tape Measure
Duct Tape Leather Gloves Thread Seal Tape
Emergency Blankets Level Tie Down Straps
Extra Batteries Multi-Bit Screwdriver Utility Knife
Extra Fuses Multimeter Wire Cutters
Flashlight Pliers Zip Ties
Weather Emergencies. When it comes to recreational activities, weather can be the number one factor
affecting your enjoyment of the great outdoors. Be prepared for any type of weather emergencies
when traveling with your camper. The following may be helpful in addressing such emergencies:
• Develop a disaster plan for all occupants. Everyone should know what to do in severe weather.
Different types of weather will call for different responses so be familiar with each.
• Know if the campground has a designated shelter area in case of severe weather. When you
arrive at a campground, ask management what to do in case of weather emergency and where
the designated shelter area is located. If the campground is unstaffed, there are probably
no weather emergency provisions made for that campground. Be prepared with your
own emergency weather plan.
• Find a local radio or TV station that broadcasts weather. In case of power loss, keep an
emergency grade battery-operated radio with extra batteries available.
• Invest in a weather radio. A weather radio will give you access to 24-hour VHF weather
broadcasts from the US National Weather Service.
• Research and educate yourself on weather safety. Visit the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration website at www.noaa.gov to learn more.

Roadside Emergencies. Roadside emergencies can occur at any given time while traveling. The
following guidelines will help you resume travel faster in the case of a roadside emergency:
1. To obtain service, locate your nearest authorized nuCamp dealer using our “Find a Dealer”
feature on the website at www.nucamprv.com.
2. If you cannot nd an authorized dealer in close proximity to your location, you may try:
• Searching online for a service center near you.
• Asking campground staff for service centers nearby.
• Acquiring a local Yellow Pages phone book and check for RV service centers.
• Contacting the dealer you bought your trailer from.
• Contacting nuCamp Customer Service.
3. Upon locating a Service Center have the camper repaired. Unless you are still in the warranty
period of your camper you will be responsible for repair costs. If you believe you qualify for
warranty coverage, please have the repair center contact the nuCamp Warranty Department by
phone at 8 44 - 823 -9112 or email at [e-mail] for pre-approval of repair coverage.
4. If you have an emergency repair on a weekend, after business hours or on a holiday when
nuCamp Warranty Department personnel are not available, take the initial steps and nd
your nearest dealer. Should the situation be dire in nature, where it materially affects your
ability to camp or operate your camper, please have it repaired and then contact the Warranty
Department during normal business hours to acquire coverage approval. (Note: nuCamp
does not guarantee any repairs are eligible for warranty coverage until approval is given through
the Warranty Department.)

GENERAL NOTES

nucamprv.com • Truck Campers 11
Cultivate these safety habits in recreation to minimize re safety
hazards:
• Teach all occupants Fire Safety Practices. Consult your
local Fire Department and the NFPA (www.nfpa.org) for
more information.
• DO NOT leave a burning re of any kind unattended.
• Supervise children at all times around campres, grills
and stove-tops where there is open ame.
• Maintain a minimum three-foot area around campres,
grills, and tents are free of dry grass, leaves, pine
needles, wood, bushes, trees, or combustible materials.
• Be ready in advance to quickly and completely extinguish any type
of re at all times.
• Teach everyone how to use the P.A.S.S. method with a re
extinguisher.
• DO NOT store ammable materials in closed areas or by a heat source.
• When refueling motor vehicles rst turn off all pilot lights and
appliances in your camper.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
A re extinguisher is located on or near the door of your camper. Read all
user instructions on the re extinguisher in its user manual, found in your
Owner’s Packet. The extinguisher is designed for Class B (ammable liquid,
oil, or grease) and Class C (energized electrical) res as these are the most
common in recreational vehicles.
After all occupants are evacuated from the camper and before you use the
extinguisher in a re emergency, determine the cause and severity of the re.
• If the re is large or fueled by an oil product or other ammable
liquid, stay clear of the camper and let the re department handle it.
• If the re is very small and can be managed, use the re
extinguisher.
• Keep your back to the door so you can evacuate quickly if the re
gets out of hand or the camper becomes full of smoke.
• Remember that any oxygen supplied to a re may further fuel it.
When operating a re extinguisher, remember the acronym P.A.S.S.
P-ull the pin. Point the nozzle away from you.
A-im the nozzle at the base of the re.
S-queeze the lever gently and slowly.
S-weep the nozzle from side to side to extinguish the re.
Disposal. After using the re extinguisher contact the local re
department for instructions on disposing of your non-rellable dry
chemical re extinguisher. Replace the re extinguisher immediately.
While many things can be construed as
safety related, the most important is your
common sense. If you are careless with
matches, cigarettes, ammable material,
or any other hazardous material, we can
only hope you realize that potential for
accidents is greatly increased.
COMMON SENSE
Various safety and information labels
are attached to surfaces both inside
and outside your RV. These labels are
permanent and should not be removed
or relocated for any reason.
WARNING LABELS

Truck Campers • nucamprv.com12
EMERGENCY EXIT
The Emergency Exit Window in all nuCamp campers is recognized by the
“EXIT” label and its red handles. This exit serves as a secondary means of
escape if the main door entrance gets blocked during an emergency. The
EXIT window is made of the same acrylic material and operates the same
as all other windows in the camper.
Practice the following:
• Teach all occupants how to operate the EXIT window before
an emergency.
• In the Family Safety Plan decide in what order occupants will exit
the camper in an emergency.
• When setting up the camper for use, check that the EXIT window
is not blocked by obstacles such as branches or trees. Have solid,
level ground below and outside the window with a clear path
of escape.
• Have a blanket or heavy coat ready to serve as a cushion on the
window frame.
• The last person to exit must be prepared to assist those going rst.
• Open and close the Emergency Exit Window on each trip to keep
the window from potentially sticking to the seal.
• Lock the Emergency Exit window while traveling or hauling
the camper.
CARBON MONOXIDE
Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas is a poisonous gas that is colorless, odorless
and tasteless. It is incompletely burned fuel often from propane
appliances, diesel or gas exhausts. In campers, it is often from propane
powered appliances or exhausts blowing into windows from vehicles or
generators. Even low concentrations can be dangerous to your health and
life. Make sure all occupants understand and can recognize the symptoms
of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Symptoms:
Dizziness Vomiting
Drowsiness Shortness of breath
Weakness Confusion
Runny nose Blurred vision
Sore or watery eyes Unconsciousness
Dull headache Brain damage
Nausea Death
In most cases of CO poisoning, individuals becomes aware they are not
feeling well but become so disoriented they aren’t able to save themselves
by getting to fresh air or calling for help. This is especially dangerous for
people who are sleeping or intoxicated. Pets, babies and small children are
usually the rst affected by CO poisoning.
It is very important to have exhaust fans running and an air inlet such
as a window open when operating fuel burning appliances.
Test smoke alarm for proper function
after camper has been taken out of
storage, once per week and before each
trip. If the smoke alarm does not test
properly, replace it immediately.
WARNING
Never use open ame to test the smoke
alarm. This can set the smoke alarm and
your camper on re.
WARNING
If the CO alarm sounds GET OUT of the
camper immediately to fresh air. Open
doors and windows and turn on fans to
air out the camper. Determine the cause
of the CO before reoccupying the camper.
WARNING

nucamprv.com • Truck Campers 13
SMOKE ALARM
Your camper is equipped with a smoke alarm. The alarm will only sound
when smoke reaches it. Read the user manual for the smoke alarm to nd
all needed information regarding its operation.
Important Information:
• The alarm is powered by a standard 9-volt battery. When the
battery is connected a red LED light will blink.
• When the alarm is activated by smoke, it will beep repeatedly, and
the LED light will ash rapidly.
• Never disable the alarm for nuisance sake or false alarms. This
could be fatal if you forget to turn it back on. Ventilate the cabin
with fresh air instead.
• Test your smoke alarm with these steps:
1. Press and hold the test button until alarm sounds.
2. Alarm will beep about four times.
3. If there is no sound replace the alarm or supply a new battery.
• The smoke alarm is designed to give you advance notice to the
presence of smoke which may lead to open ames.
• If the alarm sounds, evacuate the camper immediately and call 911.
• Replace the alarm when it reaches its expiration date.
CO & LP GAS ALARM
Your camper is equipped with a CO/Propane Leak alarm near the oor
that will sound when Carbon Monoxide reaches dangerous levels or if a
propane leak occurs.
If alarm signal sounds:
1. Move to fresh air immediately. Evacuate all persons from the
camper, leaving doors and windows open and execute your Safety
Plan. Do not silence the alarm. If possible, shut off gas supply at the
source and turn off all gas appliances.
2. Call Emergency Services. Do not re-enter the camper until
Emergency Service responders have arrived, the camper has been
aired out and your alarm returns to normal condition.
3. If the alarm re-activates after 24 hours, it may be evidence of a
propane leak or appliance malfunction. Repeat steps 1 and 2 and
then have a qualied technician investigate. If equipment needs
serviced, do so immediately. If a technician is not available, contact
the nearest re department for assistance.
Test carbon monoxide alarm for proper
function after camper has been taken out

LOADING & HAULING
VEHICLE MATCH
Selecting the right truck for your camper requires understanding a few
guidelines. Your dealer will be a valuable source of information when
matching a truck to your camper. We have outlined several important
things to note when matching your camper to an appropriate truck.
• You must begin with the weight information supplied on the data
plate of your camper, located near the rear by your camper
entrance. An example is as follows.
• Option Weights. In addition to knowing the weights of your
specic camper, you must know the additional option weights
on your camper. Since each camper is weighed individually upon
completion of its manufacturing, factory installed options will be
included in the weight reected on your camper’s data plate.
The options listed are items that were specically designed by
nuCamp to be installed on your truck camper by your dealer:
1. Side Awning Option adds a maximum of 45 lbs.
2. Air Conditioner Option adds a maximum of (87) lbs.
3. Microwave Option adds a maximum of (24) lbs.
• To estimate the total cargo load that will be placed on a truck, add
the weight of all passengers in the camper, the weight of supplies,
tools, and all other cargo, the weight of installed additional or
optional camper equipment, and the manufacturer’s camper
weight gure. Select a truck that has a cargo weight rating that
is equal to or greater than the total cargo load of the camper and
whose manufacturer recommends a cargo center of gravity zone
that will contain the camper’s center of gravity when it is installed.
• Truck payload capacity is the amount of weight a truck is designed
to carry. Campers are considered “truck payload”. New trucks
have their payload capacity posted in the glove box or on a
specication sheet supplied with the truck owner’s manual. Trucks
that have many options and/or a 4-wheel drive option have less
payload. When calculating payload, truck manufacturers assume all
seat positions are lled with persons weighing 150 pounds each.
• Center of gravity is crucial to understanding truck and camper
matching. Truck manufacturers are also required to provide a ‘center
of gravity zone’ for camper loading. To determine if your truck/
camper combination is within the proper center of gravity limits,
observe these steps:
a. Find the center of gravity for your type model.
Failure to properly match the camper and
truck can result in undesirable handling
characteristics and create a safety hazard.
DO NOT load your vehicle beyond its
gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and/
or gross axle weight ratings (GAWR).
WARNING

Truck Campers • nucamprv.com16
b. Determine the recommended center of gravity zone for
your truck, as listed in your truck owner’s manual. If you
cannot nd this information, contact the nearest
manufacturer’s representative for your truck. The zone is
normally measured from the rear of the cargo area.
c. In a properly matched combination of truck and camper,
point ‘B’ (camper center of gravity) will fall within points ‘C’
and ‘D’, (truck’s center of gravity zone).
• The bed of your truck typically is fastened to its frame with mounts
allowing for some movement. Enough clearance must be allowed
between truck and camper to prevent damage that can be caused
by racking, twisting, and bouncing during normal driving conditions.
• The cab-over of the camper should never be closer than 1 ½" to the
highest point of your truck’s cab to allow clearance for cab marker
lights or tracking system antennas, if equipped.
• A minimum of ¼" clearance between the truck bed side rails and
the camper wing is required. Some truck models have a tapered
bed, meaning the bed depth is different between the front and rear.
This can make the camper look tilted (front higher than the rear)
along the bed of the truck.
• It may be necessary to place a bed mat in the truck bed to raise the
camper to the minimum clearance requirements.
• Using a truck with under-rated towing and loading capacities to
haul a camper can cause serious stability problems. Additionally,
the strain put on the engine, structural frame and drivetrain of the
truck may lead to serious maintenance problems. The maximum
towing and payload capacities of your truck must never be
exceeded. Refer to your tow vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for the
towing capacity of your tow vehicle, in terms of maximum Gross
Weight (GW), maximum Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and
Payload Capacity.
• As always, your nuCamp dealer will have lots of experience to
assist you in matching your truck and camper. Rely on their
expertise to guarantee compatibility. Your dealer can also assist
with setting your camper in proper position on your truck bed.
SPEED
In ideal road conditions, the maximum recommended speed for safely
hauling a camper is 65 mph. Your camper is more prone to imbalance
under higher speeds, increasing the possibility for loss of control. Your
truck tires can also overheat, increasing the possibility of a blowout.

RIG DYNAMICS
When hauling a camper, you will encounter:
• Increased Stopping Distances. To compensate for increased
stopping distances, while following another vehicle on the
highway, stay one rig length away from the vehicle in front of you
for every 10 mph of your speed.
• Decreased Rear View Visibility. Wide or extended mirrors will help
remedy this hindrance.
• Higher Center of Gravity. With the weight of your camper siting
high up on the back of your truck, you must be extra careful when
turning to keep your camper and truck well balance.
• Different Vehicle Handling Dynamics. Your vehicle will be more
sensitive to steering in windy conditions. Larger vehicles passing will
have a greater effect on the control and handling of the vehicle.
• Slower Acceleration. You will need a longer distance to pass, due to
slower acceleration and increased length.
DRIVING PRACTICES
Safe driving practices and habits:
• Slippery conditions. Slippery road surfaces will be more dangerous
when driving a loaded vehicle, compared to driving without.
• Rainy Weather. While rain may seem harmless, the dangers of
hydroplaning increase if you do not reduce your speed. It may be
helpful to turn on your emergency ashing lights to help others
on the road to see you better, especially in heavy rain where
visibility is reduced.
• Black Ice. In rainy weather when temperatures drop to 32° or lower,
black ice is possible and will show up on bridges rst. Reduce your
speed to reduce the risk of losing control.
• Vehicle Imbalance. This is caused by excessive steering, wind gusts,
roadway edges, the camper’s reaction to the force created by
passing trucks and buses, or improper loading of cargo in the
camper – a frequent problem.
• Check rearview mirrors every 2-3 seconds to observe accompanying
trafc.
• Always check your rearview mirrors before changing lanes and
always use turn signals.
• Use a lower gear when driving down steep or long grades. The
engine and transmission should not serve as a brake but rather to
maintain a lower speed. Use brakes to gently reduce speed then
rely on your engine to maintain the speed. Do not ride your brakes,
as they may overheat and become ineffective.
• Always be aware of your camper height, especially when
approaching bridges, roofed areas, and trees. Know your exact
clearance height and check the height dimension of each bridge
before passing underneath.
• Obey all trafc rules. They are for your safety.
• Wear your seatbelt.
• Be alert and courteous to fellow drivers.
• Look out for motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians.
Excessive speed in hazardous road
conditions could result in loss of control,
serious injury or death. Slow down in
hazardous road conditions or pull off the
road and wait for the weather to clear up.
Follow all weather safety directions.
WARNING
Never allow anyone to ride in the camper
while traveling. Not only is it against
the law in many states, it may result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING

18 Truck Campers • nucamprv.com
• Always use your running lights to increase your visibility to other trafc.
• Never drive under the inuence of alcohol, drugs or any kind of medication that will affect your
reexes, comprehension, and alertness.
• Never drive when you are tired. If you begin to ght sleep, switch drivers or, if you are alone,
nd a place to sleep until you are rested enough to go on. It is more important to arrive safe than
on time.
• Never use cruise control on wet, icy roads, winding roads or when traversing
mountainous territory.
ELECTRIC JACK SYSTEM
Important information for proper and safe operation of the camper jacks:
• Electric jacks need 12-volt battery power to operate. If the battery is too low to
operate the jacks, charge the battery before using the jack system. If the camper is on the
truck, starting the truck’s engine will supply 12V power to the jacks if the 7-way electrical power
cord is connected.
• If no 12V power is available or battery power is too low to operate the jack system, switch the
power “OFF“ to the receiver. This will eliminate the dynamic braking effect of the motor.
Remove the access cap on the top of the powerhead. The crank shaft of the gearbox will be
accessible to turn with a 3/8" ratchet wrench. Rotate the wrench counter-clockwise to raise
the jack and clockwise to lower the jack.
a. Do not activate the motor with the wrench still on the crank shaft.
b. Do not use the electric jacks to raise or lower the camper using only 110V power. The
converter’s charger will be damaged if the jacks are operated with 110V power through the 12V
converter without a 12V battery installed in the camper.
• There are two remotes for the jacks. If the remote battery dies, simply plug it into the remote
cable port on the activation switch panel with provided cable. If the black remote does not work,
there is a backup remote on the jack’s fuse panel.
• The hand held remote control operates on radio frequency, much like remote units for garage
door openers. The remote is powered by a battery located under the removable cover on the
back of the remote unit. The remote has a range of up to 20 feet from the camper. Occasional
frequency interference from other nearby remote control devices may occur. This should only
result in momentary pauses during the extend or retract operation.
• When operating the jacks with a low 12V battery, the ‘all jacks’ extend and retract feature may
not work. In that case, use the individual jack buttons to operate the jack.
• When operating the jacks by remote control, visually inspect all four jacks to ensure that they are
responding properly and that you are following proper lifting or lowering camper procedures.
• DO NOT over-extend or over-retract the jacks. The electric jack has an internal slip clutch to help
prevent damage. If a clicking sound is heard, release switch. Continuing to hold the switch will
cause undue wear on the slip clutch and/or cause damage to the motor.
• If the jacks are in operation and no longer respond to the remote, push the control switch and
the light will go out. The jacks should disengage. If they continue to operate, unplug the jack(s)
from their exterior plug and contact your nuCamp dealer for servicing.
• Keep a spare battery available for your remote control for best wireless performance. It is
recommended that you install a new battery in the remote at the beginning of each season (one
per year).

19nucamprv.com • Truck Campers
• The frequency of your remote-control unit has been pre-set by the manufacturer. If interference problems
routinely occur, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions in your Owner’s Packet to change the frequency.
Before operating the remote control electric camper jacks, be sure to read and understand the operating
instructions that were provided with your camper pertaining to their safe operation.
ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT
The following equipment may be required or helpful to purchase in the interest of preserving the life of your
camper and to aid in its enjoyment:
CAMPER PACKER. Designed for use when the camper is in storage. Torklift is typically a good brand. More
information can be found here: https://www.torklift.com/rv/camper-packer
AIRBAGS. Consult your truck brand dealership for recommendations for your specic make and model. Air bags
will greatly improve vehicle handling and safety. They raise a loaded truck to normal unloaded ride
height, providing a more balanced and comfortable ride.
HEAVY DUTY SHOCKS. Consult your truck brand dealership for recommendations for your specic make and
model. Use of heavy-duty shocks may help reduce wear and tear on your truck’s frame.
HITCH EXTENDER/TOWING SYSTEM. Your dealer can assist you in selecting the correct one for your vehicle.
Only a qualied technician should install the system. Never attach a hitch ball or towing bar to your
camper bumper.
WEIGHT DEFINITIONS
It is very important to stay within the weight ratings of your truck. Learning these denitions will help you safely
manage your vehicle’s weight and balance. Vehicle weight numbers typically fall into these two categories:
• Ratings are maximum limits that under no circumstance should be exceeded. These limits are established by
nuCamp and our part manufacturers in the design of the trailer.
• Weight and Load are generally interchangeable terms. Weight is measured by putting a vehicle, trailer,
cargo, or other components on a scale. Vehicles and cargo have weight or mass, which create loads on tires,
axles, and hitches.
Common Denitions:
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating): The maximum weight each axle is designed for and rated to carry.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating): The maximum operating weight of a vehicle as specied by the manufacturer
including the vehicle’s chassis, body, fuel, accessories, and any cargo.
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight): The total actual weight of your vehicle plus cargo, as measured on a scale.
CURB WEIGHT: Curb weight is the total mass or weight of a vehicle with all needed fuels such as oils, lubricants,
coolants and a full tank of fuel.
CCC (Cargo Carrying Capacity, also known as Payload Capacity): The maximum weight that persons plus cargo
should never exceed. Payload is derived by subtracting a vehicle’s Curb Weight from GVWR.

CARRYING CARGO
When loading this camper, store heavy gear rst, keeping it on or close
to the camper oor. Place heavy things far enough forward to keep the
loaded camper’s center of gravity within the zone recommended by the
truck manufacturer. Store only light objects on high shelves. Distribute
weight to obtain even side-to-side balance of the loaded vehicle. Secure
loose items to prevent weight shifts that could affect the balance of your
vehicle. When the truck-camper is loaded, drive to a scale and weigh on
the front and on the rear wheels separately to determine axle loads. The
load on an axle should not exceed its gross axle weight rating (GAWR). The
total of the axle loads should not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating
(GVWR). These weight ratings are given on the vehicle certication label
that is located on the left side of the vehicle, normally on the dash panel,
hinge pillar, door latch post, or door edge next to the driver on trucks
manufactured on or after January 1, 1972. If weight ratings are exceeded,
move, or remove items to bring all weights below the ratings.
Important information pertaining to loading your camper.
• Installed options, personal cargo, water, and fuel will affect your
campers center of gravity. Cargo must be evenly distributed to
properly balance the camper from front to back and side to side.
• An overloaded camper is often due to excessive cargo. The
temptation to ll every available space is common. You must load
by weight, not by volume.
• You may have more free space for personal belongings if you wait to
ll the water tanks until you arrive at the camp site. Water weighs
8.3 lbs. per gallon.
CAMPER LOADING
To minimize safety risks while loading or unloading your camper, the
following must be observed:
• Keep children and animals away from the area when raising or
lowering the camper.
• Only store your camper on level ground.
• Be sure all tie-down devices and electrical devices are disconnected
from the vehicle before loading.
• Never allow the camper to be occupied while it is being loaded or
unloaded.
• Avoid putting any part of your body under the camper during the
procedure.
• Do not tilt the camper sideways while raising it on the jacks. The
jacks could buckle.
• Always load and unload camper on rm level ground.
• Use caution when loading and unloading the camper on a windy
day. The amount of wind that is dangerous depends on your
exposure and the weight of the camper. It is best to avoid loading
on a windy day.
• Always keep the front higher than the rear. Before loading the
camper onto the truck, be sure to attach the tie-downs to the truck.
An improperly loaded truck and camper
can cause imbalance and adverse vehicle
handling. This can result in loss of
control, serious injury or death.
WARNING
Overtightened turnbuckles or tie downs
may result in damage to your camper.
CAUTION
