Equalizing pressure on camper jacks
I have Happijac electric jacks on my NL 9'6" QSE.
Question... when I raise the camper off my truck bed, how might I ensure each leg is carrying its fair share of the camper weight?
On several occasions, I've raised the camper only to find one leg *off the ground*. With only 3 legs bearing all the weight, even temporarily, I worry about tweaking the camper body.
To date, I've lowered each leg until it just hits the ground (touch down), and the motor starts to groan from the load. At that point it would seem each leg is carrying roughly-equal weight. The problem happens when I run all 4 motors simultaneously there-after, and the motors don't necessarily run at exactly the same speed over a 12-18" lift. I haven't yet looked at the leg rulers at touch down, and then ensured an equal distance lift per leg.
