Can I lift my Camper with a jack ? (pictures inside)

Hello, my camper, which is actually a toy hauler ( if that makes a difference) has been sitting in the same spot for about 2 years now. Its starting to lean to one side.. Can I jack up one side...

You only have to move it about 1 foot to get it up on boards. Cut two boards, each about 18" long. Pull trailer forward 1 foot. Place board behind rear tire, another board behind front tire. Back up 1' to same spot as before.

I don't know why folks insist on using a 5' long board for leveling. It's a lot more practical to use short lengths.

You can also just dig some shallow holes on the other side, since it looks like soft packed soil. Same thing. Pull forward 1 foot. Dig holes. Back up into holes.
