Levelling Fifth Wheel Side to Side

If it settled below a tire, I would jack up the frame as if I was changing a tire, and put a board or 2 under the tire(s). Have you checked the tire pressure lately?

Are you saying the wheels have sunk into the ground on one side, or something has happened to the suspension on one side?

Dropped a bit how? Suspension collapsed? Details m'lad, details. :)

I don't think I'd use a single jack to try and lift the camper. Maybe two of them on the frame in front and behind the wheels, and jacked up evenly.

Come on guys this is not rocket science.

Jack it up like you were changing a tire, add the needed shim under that tire then do the same to the other.

It's not a triple axle? I like to know the details of the problem before offering advice. :) Sometimes all is not as it appears.

I had my tires get the sand around them washed away by rain. All I had to do was jack up the tires, and put boards under the low tires. Like stated above it is not rocket science.

You will probably find a tire shaped hole under the tire, and putting a board over the void will cause it to crack. So fill in the hole, then place a 2X10 under the tire. This solved my sinking into the sand problem. I had a small creek running through my parking area while I was parked on a 4 acre ranch in Southern California. It was rare to rain, but when it did, I would get up to 2" of running water along only the drivers side of my motorhome. So I had to relevel it once a winter. No big deal. Cheap rent too!

Good luck,

Fred.

If you don't stabilize what's sinking under the tires, you will only wind up doing it again later this season or next. If you don't mind doing that, no problem, but if it's a bigger chore, like a seasonal with an attached deck, etc., then I'd rather fix it once and be done with it.

You don't have stabilizers? I would use those to level the FW from side to side!

Like korbe & stickdog said;

Jack it up on the low side just like your changing a tire, and do what needs to be done to level trailer be it with boards or filling holes with dirt/sand, you can also do this for the landing gear too if need be, then you can reset/adjust your stabilizers.

Thanks. Sorry for lack of details. Double axle trailer. Just parked it on the site in the fall. Lot is gravel. There was a different camper there in previous years. I believe that the foundation is good. The gravel was likely loose last year and settled with my camper sitting there over the winter. I will check the tire pressures again, but I thought they were fine. Stabilizers are down.

I realize that it's not rocket science, I was just curious if anybody levelled with a jack or if it was easier to just hook it back up to the truck. I have a 4 ton jack and the trailer likely weighs about 14K with everything in it right now.

Thanks.
