During the process of setting up my TT for my WD hitch, while leveling front to back, I noticed that the passengers side of my TT un-coupled was 24 1/2" on the front pass corner from the frame to the ground and 23 1/2" on the rear pass corner from the frame to the ground. My drivers side however for a perfect 24" across the TT from the frame to the ground. The ground that I was doing this on was level (concrete driveway). My TT is brand new and I have yet to taken it on a trip. I also noticed that my rear bumper which is the 4x4" tube bumper is bent, higher on the drivers side, lower on passenger. I guess the point of me posting since I'm new to the camper world is are all of these things normal for a new TT? I understand that these things are built on a assembly line so their not going to be perfect but I'm just curious.I have a 2022 Jayco WhiteHawk 27RK.Thanks.

Welcome to the forums. Moving your question to Travel Trailers.

First thing that comes to mind is loading, is there anything heavy in the RR corner? Sounds like the RR corner has a 1/2" drop that is producing a corresponding rise in the RF corner. Maybe water tank is located there, at 8 lbs/ gal, a 50-gal fresh water tank then weighs 400 lbs. I would also have a look at the right side suspension, spring hangers, equalizer, etc to be sure everything is bolted together right.a 1/2" out-of-level by itself is not a huge deal as long as it's not a symptom of something more serious.

Most "level" concrete driveways have some slope in them so water doesn't just lay on them. Borrow a 6 foot level from somebody and check the driveway before you fret too much.

Borrow a 6 foot level from somebody and check the driveway before you fret too much.The driveway isn't level per se, but it's flat, meaning that if he got the same F/R frame to ground measurement on the left side it should be the same on the right too if the TT frame is flat.

Thanks for the input, all of my tanks are empty as well and yeah it could be a loading issue, I didn’t think about that. And yes the concrete was flat but maybe it wasn’t perfectly level. Either way I think I should be getting the same measurements on all 4 corners of the frame if it was perfectly level. Also I got under my TT and didn’t notice any visible cracks in any welds and all of my leaf springs and suspension as a whole looks good as well. I will take a more detailed look at it again this evening!
