On the front power leveling jacks if on a side hill do you use the leg adjustments or leveling blocks, or a combination of both to level?
What about level gauges? Where is the best place to put them on the trailer. I see a lot of 5ers with a level gauge on the kingpin. I assume this allows the driver to easily see when the trailer is level when backing into a spot or onto blocks.
I have a large graduated level on pin box....allows me to check side to side level when positioning 5vr. Then I can tell GF which side and have many boards to lay down so I can back on/pull on to for side to side leveling.
I extend landing gear legs as needed so that when I drop the pinned inner tubes they are not extended as much.......less wobble in front legs. I pull pins and let them drop onto ground then run driven tubes until pins snap into holes in inner tube. (if pin holes are way off I will put an extra cutting board under to get holes closer. Otherwise just one board under each leg)
I use a 2' level on bottom edge of bedroom slide out to set front to rear level. Slide out is right above the extend/retract switch and if my bedroom slide is level so is my fridge (luckily)
