We love camping in state parks but sometimes run into short or unlevel campsites. Our MH is 43'ft. For unlevel sites some folks recommend placing blocks under the leveling feet but then we might run into the wheels on the MH raising off the ground. My question: Does this cause any undue stress on the motorhome?
Appreciate your expertise in this matter,
The simple answer is . . . . it depends. It depends on WHERE the jacks are located on the frame. Usually they are ahead of the front wheels and behind the rear wheels. If that is the case on your Class C you are extending the wheelbase when you lift the wheels off the ground. That DOES increase the stress on the frame. Does it hurt the frame? It depends on how much the frame bends. I've seen a 32' Class A pop the windshield out of the fiberglass frame in extreme cases. On a Class C the windshield is part of the base chassis (cab) and built by Ford/Chevrolet/etc. so it is considerably stronger than most Class A gassers. You state
you have a 43' Class C? A Super C?
