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.
Yes, should have a handle to deploy the jacks.
2- Is it normal that my F250 back(corner lights) comes in contact with the trailer when at a very sharp angle backing up?
No, that is a turn too tight. Contact is a big 'no no'.
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.
Yes, it is very easy. Just rock the tow vehicle back and forth a half inch until it releases. Usually you can hear or feel it release. Chock the trailer wheels before doing this. It will release very easily.
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.
The coach floor works just fine.
