Vintage Campers

[CampCoxCadet]

For those without the wheel jack on the front...
I have made an enhancement to my Cox Cadet...
Buy a one wheel jack!  They have them now where you can just bolt them on the front bar.  It has saved my back and it is much easier moving the camper around.  Happy Trails!

The original jack with my Starcraft came with a wheel, but it had long been lost before I got the camper.

You can buy wheel for a jack, but the two sizes I found didn't fit mine, and even after adapting something to make the wheel fit, it still wasn't very stable.  and while it works for a level driveway, it can't be moved over grass and dirt.  

So I got one of the 'trailer dollys' with the large inflated wheels - it's bigger than thejack wheel, but with it, I can move my camper anywhere I need to - like a giant toy wagon! Including over my lumpy and uneven lawn on an uphill incline!

Got it at Harbor freight, on sale for about $35 I think.

the prices are higher right now - but if you wait & watch, you can find a sale.

I'm sure they would have them at Tractor Supply and other places like that, too.
