To make the set up a little easier can't stronger jacks be added that would lift the TT high enough to level it? Just thinking a small TT would weigh much less than a large one. The jacks look similar to scissor jacks used to jack up cars that weigh about the same but actually lift the tires off the ground.
Manufacturers do not recommend frame jacking. That's why they are called stabilizers.
I am an old guy, but it is incredibly easy to permanently mount a couple of levels on the trailer (front and side). The front level can be calibrated to tell you how many inches one side is lower than the other. Place the required blocks in front of the low side tires, pull forward, and you are level. Takes longer to tell than to do. The front can tben be raised or lowered with the tongue jack to complete the job. At 3500 pounds, the OP is almost certainly dealing with a single axle trailer. Very easy.
Have you never seen a front window popped out of a Class A from jacking the front end?
As far as hitching/unhitching, not every lot is a pull though, and it is just as easy to do a trailer as a toad.
