forward of the tires... to help with leveling? but i have a damn propane line on the from, is it ok to install the jack and slide the mount under the line? any other advice?

Personal experience with one of those 5K rated scissor jacks.
Just yesterday, I needed to remove a tire from my riding lawn mower. I couldn't find my utility jack, so, I grabbed one of those scissor jacks.
It lifted the lawnmower, I took off the wheel, walked two steps away, and heard a crunching sound. The 300 lb mower was now sitting on top of a twisted peice of junk.
Good thing, it wasn't my trailer sitting on that jack.
TT scissors jacks are meant for use on a properly chocked TT. They have very little lateral strength.
I am not surprised at all that it failed in this application
