Adjusting front legs on 5th wheel

It looks to me as though that "Stop" is for a stopping point when you raise the legs, not lower them. IOW you can lower the leg past the "Stop" but you need to stop at that point when raising them.

It is a learn as you go game. When you get the trailer into the site look at the level bubble. You will eventually get a feel for how much motorized leg you need to let out before unhooking from the truck. Basically the further you need to lower the front of the 5th wheel to be level the more motorized leg you need to run out. If the front needs to go down 6 inches you need to make sure you have run more than 6 inches of the leg out before lowering the pin adjusted leg. Then when you unhook you have enough motorized leg to run back up inside to get your nose down to level.

X2!
Schlep the perfect answer.

Dont put so much of the leg out, lift the feet up and take up several inches of the foot, then lower more of the jack out to unhook and you will have more jack to lower with...

I hope that made sense...let me try again....you have the pin in about the 20th hole...try only pinning the leg at the tench hole...and then screw out more of the jack

Clear as mud...but youll figure it out ;)

Good luck, enjoy your rv

Loosen your stabilizers. Hitch it back up to the truck then raise the landing gear enough to take pressure off the pads. Pull the ring and the pin will release the bottom leg. Slide the inner leg up about 5 holes into the outer leg and make sure the pin engages completely in a hole. After unhitching lower your trailer to your desired height. As a rule of thumb, keep the inner leg short and the outer leg long. This will give the trailer more stability.

I had mine delivered and couldn't get the trailer low enough to get it on my hitch. I had to put a jack in the bed of the truck and jack up the kingpin so I could adjust the landing gear as above. Enjoy your trailer and welcome to the forum.
