Question on bent scissor jacks
I have a simple 19ft Prime time Avenger, 2013. Haven't used it but a few times so please excuse the silly question. I took it to a bbq competition in a parking lot, not much slope at all, just barel...

It may be that the trailer moved a bit, three of the jacks slipped without damage, but the one was down tighter and was twisted. In any case, you will need to replace the damaged one. That's not hard.
Not sure what your "rubber chocks" are. Most chocks are plastic. But travel trailers certainly need to be well chocked before you unhitch. Put the scissor jacks down AFTER you unhitch.
X2 on the slippage.
Do you chock both sides of you trailer, one chock in front of the tire and one cock behind and kick them in tight.
I had the Bal TELESCOPIC STABILIZING JACKS on my old Airstream, they are head and shoulders above the scissor jacks for stability. They cost about 50% more than scissor jacks, but well worth it. Just one more project on the to do list.
