I've thought about this some more. Fuses blow and circuit breakers trip to prevent damage from occurring. Sometimes while hooked up to 30A, my wife will forget and turn on the hairdryer while the air conditioning is running. Within a few seconds, the breaker trips. I'm glad my camper has circuit breakers or else serious damage could occur. Why would I purposely push something to the point of tripping the circuit breaker every time I use it? That just doesn't sound good to me. From my own experience on my concrete driveway, I know that tightening for a couple seconds like in the Lippert manual leaves me a very unsteady camper. Tightening until the motor starts groaning and straining results in the same. I don't think any consumer should have to push a product until the breaker trips in order for it to work effectively. This is why I've ordered 4 manual scissor jacks and will be installing them soon. That's what I used on my previous camper for 8 years. I would hand crank them until they put just a slight pressure on the camper. They provided much more stability than these electric jacks do.
