1- Should it come equipped with the tool to turn the scissor levelling jacks? I used my drill and sockets/ratchet. Could not find any tool for jacks or to change wheels. Brand new TT.
2- Is it normal that my F250 back(corner lights) comes in contact with the trailer when at a very sharp angle backing up?
3- Any trick to getting the hitch to let the ball go? I had to turn it up and down a few time, jiggle it, jump on the bumper a few times before I could unclamp it.
4- Where do you take your level? I used a large level so could not fit it with the refrigerator. I used the kitchen counter to level it.
1. Yes there should be a speed handle to lower the stabilizers. Tell the dealer you want it.
2. No. Either the draw bar is short, or you have it in the very back hole of the receiver, and you are turning too sharp.
3.. Yes there is a trick. Take the pressure off the ball with the tongue jack. Then put the truck in drive a pull forward, but not enough to move the trailer. Just enough to take the back pressure off the coupler. You may sometimes have to jerk it a tiny bit.
4. A 8" torpedo level placed on the floor at the door will get the trailer as level as you need it to be. First turn it across the trailer, do side to side, and then after unhooking. Turn it with the trailer, and do Front to back.
