Choose a campground that has the necessary utilities you will need. If your pop-up does not have a built-in shower, find a campground with showering facilities. Because Clipper pop-up campers have electrical and water hookups for lighting and for a faucet, don't choose a primitive campsite that doesn't have access to electricity and water hookup.
Park the camper within 3 feet of the water and electrical hookups. Campsites will usually position these on what would be the driver's side of the campsite. It is called the driver's side because RVs are backed into position in the site so that the door of the RV opens onto the fire pit and picnic table side of the campsite. Unhook the camper from the vehicle.
Deploy the trailer-leveling jacks. These secure the trailer against bouncing on its suspension when you walk in the trailer. They should bring the tires up until they are just barely off the ground.
Raise the top of the pop-up camper using the ratcheting crank. Some Clipper models are outfitted with hydraulic lifts. With the top in position, pull out the front and back bed slides and lock them into position.
Zip the tent netting onto the bed slides to secure the bug/weather screen in place.
