Question Bigfoot camper, 9.5

I have a 9.5 bigfoot camper which I unloaded for winter. I am now going to put it back on. With a quad cab it is difficult to see out to line up when loading back on. this is my first time with a longer cab. Any body got any tricks up there sleeve to make this easier??





HJH ,Thanks

Try putting two stripes with tape down your bed (rubber mat preferred) about 3' apart. Then matching marks with tape on the leading edge of your camper.

Always best to have a spotter too.

I never thought of the xtra cab/quad problem. Its hard enough to get it right with a reg cab. I feel like regan in the exorcist tryin to spin my neck around to see. I was thinking of making some guides with 2x4s or? to center it.Ive seen some rollerguides somewhere also. My 93 bed was about 4" wider in back than the 95 and I already messed up the camper puttin it on once.

It ain't fun the first few times. If your by yourself, it takes a lot of getting out and looking.
