Glad to hear everyone is OK so far, and hope you will be too. The Little Buddy looks cute. I think I mentioned I bought one for this coming winter, just in case I need some backup. I'm a real wuss about propane canisters, not the bigger tanks, so I'm going to get someone who's experienced or just nervy to fire the thing up for me and walk me through it. I could look at youtube or read directions all day, and still feel like wussing out. Meanwhile, you are having some time to mull over options on the vent and the jacks. I suspect something will bubble up to provide a basis for decision. Stay well.

Thank you Judith. Yeah you can't be too careful around propane. But if you hook a 16 ounce canister up to your Little Buddy you can take it outside and light it up, that would give you an extra margin of safety while you're learning how to use it. Bear in mind when you first light it up it will take a lot of priming to get it to work, but after it starts working it will be fine. It's good to know your limitations dealing with propane but since so many people deal with those barbecue size tanks there made as safe as they can be.

Removing the camper jacks is an interesting dilemma. If you do it the vehicle would be the equivalent of a van or motorhome in mobility. The only thing you would lose is the ability to take it off if you have a truck problem as stated. If you owned a class c and broke down you would be in the same situation. I've never liked the way the jacks hang down being fearful of catching them on something. I never took my camper off the truck until I completed a trip at home. Or you could be part of the better safe than sorry crowd and leave them on.

One of the benefits I believed to having a truck camper was the ability to remove it if need be, that's one of the benefits that separated it from a van. But running around Denver I always leave the camper on, because I want to get used to it always being there.

Yep, Hit up the RV forums to get a lot of bad advice mixed in with the good advice. You are knowledgeable enough to ignore the stupid stuff and utilize the good stuff. You might even find out about a new place or two to visit.

Well thank you Barney, yeah you can get about every opinion in the world from a forum, as the old saying goes; just like belly buttons, everybody got one.

Yeah, that's exactly the kind of thing I was talking about Larry. I worry about breaking down and not being able to find somebody that can tow it or fix it with the camper on it.
