No, never put the legs down.

A, don't need to and
B, when wild camping we try to be really inconspicuous as if we're only parked up.

I use lumps and bumps in the terrain to level the truck and occasionally rocks or tree branches if we are too wonky. Without the stability of the legs I don't feel we move around that much (unless I'm up on the roof) despite the Land Rover having much more compliant coil suspension than the more normal leaf springs.

Looking back on my six years of demountable motorhoming not once have I put the legs down unless I'm taking the camper off the truck (even though its so easy with my electronic happijacks).

Rears only again this weekend and with all four corners down the off-shore wind would still rock this camper anyway.

We have demounted as we are trying a new rear awning which has worked well and provided extra space for the boys to sleep.

Only put it up as we away three nights.
