I got a question to ask,but first I want set this up.
There is a campground that we have visited a lot over the years 5 to 8 times a year,its close and we like it.
On a recent trip we had a larger group so we didn't camp in one of the spots that we usually camp at. While on a ride I passed one spot that we used and I told my Grandaughter it was a good thing that someone wasn't looking for us because in that spot was a RV identical to mine,same year and everything. I noticed that the front tires were off the ground with the jacks deployed.I did notice that the front ones were mounted on the frame just behind the front tire. I have seen this on other rigs.
Now I have parked in this spot a dozen times or more while it does slope a bit toward the road all I ever used was my Tri-Levlers and only on the first step. I have since been back,about 2 weeks later and it was the same as usual.
So is this how it is done? Is that the way to get all of that bounce out that the others have talked about to
It seems that doing this would put a lot of strain on the frame.
