Leveling Travel trailer

Can I level my 30 foot Fleetwood Mallard without having to move it..?? I have it on my own private land in New Hampshire and it has been there since i had it delivered five years ago and it needs to be leveled from side to side {off about inch and a half-two inches}. I'm thinking I could use a couple of house jacks and slowly work them together so i can add some thing on top off the blocks I have there now. I have a 2003 Yukon XL but i do not own any towing stabilzers for it and seeing i never move it I never invested because of that fact. Should i be thinking of getting something under one tire..?? Thanks Gregg

    When I put new tires on last year, I took 2 at a time to the tire place. I jacked both axles on one side (and used a jack stand to avoid leak down) to remove both wheels.

    I don't see why you couldn't do that.

    Jacking up the trailer would require a LOT more jacking as you would have to take up the suspension first, before the tires left the ground.

    This is all assuming you are leveling by putting something under the tires, not along the frame.

    Used to level a 70' mobile home with a four ton bottle jack; one pier at a time. You should be able to lift it with one jack going about 3/4" at a time. At 30' I would use three piers per side.

    PS You didn't say what it was sitting on. You may want to lower the high side instead, depending on what the result will be.

    I would jack it up and just raise that side whatever it needs. Either unde the wheels or where ever else it may be supported
