From Skyline manual:
"5. Lower stabilizer jacks, placing wood block under foot as necessary, until they make firm con- tact with ground — Do Not Overtighten or try to lift trailer except for small amount needed to level."
What is a small amount needed? Is 1" a small amount? Earlier step is
"2. Before uncoupling, level the trailer from side to side with suitable lengths of 2” x 6” wood blocks under the trailer wheels. Place the wood blocks on the ground forward of the wheels, and tow the trailer onto the blocks. Block the wheels to be sure the trailer cannot roll."
So anything smaller than what I can do with a 2" piece of wood is OK to do with the jacks? Or should I bring 1" and 1/2" pieces too? I would have liked a hard number of where the limit is.
