Newbie Question on Leveling

Want to be able to use Rockwood Mini Lite 2304 in backyard when not travelling as a 'guest house'. Problem: ground not level approx 3" rise. Have purchased leveling lynx. Black tank output is low to the ground. Unable to maneuver to this height comfortably just using the lynx levelers on one side.

Thought I might use a Bottle Jack to raise tires and slip in the lynx levelers. Then, lower and remove the Bottle Jack, letting the tires come to rest on the lynx levelers.

First, is this feasible? Second, what is recommendation for Bottle Jack? Third, where should jack be located to raise high enough to insert levelers?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
  • Here is a suggestion for a permanent solution to your situation.



    I purchased four 2'x2' paving blocks at a big box store. (look for any with chipped corners and ask for a discount.) Park your camper in the desired spot and mark the location of each tire. Move the camper and remove the sod where each tire will sit. Pick one of the four sites as your reference and add gravel/sand tamping it down to create a level surface. Place a paving block there and then do the same for the remaining three blocks leveling each to the reference block. You will have a parking pad that will instantly level your trailer (side to side) every time you park it. Just use the tongue jack to level front to back and your done.
