Hello markopolo ,
Yes I installed an electric scissor jack to the front on my RV. A little pricey ( around $750.00 ) but it's capable of lifting 5,000 lbs. It actually lifes the front end off of the ground. On my unit ,as I think with others the front is always lower. I think the back has heavy duty spring to be able to carry the load. I found that it's nice to be able to raise the from end to get level. I first installed a manual 5,000 lbs scissor jack but it was a real work-out.
I installed a 1/2 x 36 inch piece of angle iron from one front fork to the other and bolted it in place, than I installed the jack in the middle on the angle iron, works great. I can lift the front end sitting in the drivers seat and looking at the level on my dash.
I think I have your private e-mail address because I remember talking to you about you RT. I can send your pictures to that e-mail address.
