Thanks Lantley. When we get back home next week I'll run over to my Harbor Freight and take a look at them. Actually, I don't mind the heavier model (or the cost), if it can support the entire weight of the trailer front solidly. I doubt I'd ever have to extend them the full length. Being able to manipulate and eventually get the landing gear feet with just a full foot of clearance would make all the difference in the world. The trailer would be on them for just a matter of seconds, long enough to either extend the legs or stack more lumber under the feet. More than likely, extend the legs. Once I get the jacks I can experiment in my own driveway, even though it's flat it will give me a good feel and confidence in the equipment.
We camp almost always at State Parks, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Southern Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, South and North Carolina. And these states have hills and mountains and campgrounds are not built on flat ground. Even though the DNR web sites give a description of the campsite, indicating shade or sun, slope or flat, water or not, or how far water is from the site, etc, they don't give you the angle of degree for the slope. And photos make every campsite look flat. You can't really see the slope. So when you reserve a campsite, you just never know what you are really getting until you get there. We've had our share of surprises for sure. And we've overcome obstacle unimaginable and parked successfully. Three times in the last 11 months, it's time to figure out a fix.
Thanks again.
