I've often wondered with the two motor independent system how you know that both legs are moving at the same time to raise the trailer in sync. Obviously once both legs are in contact with the ground you can't tell if you raised or lowered one leg more than the other. Can the switches be interlinked so they work together?
Later models than mine had a third switch that ran both motors. The speed they run at is very close. Our procedure is run each leg down till they are just touching the ground, then I hold both switches and raise the trailer until I can unhook. Once unhooked, I hold both switches and lower it until the trailer is level fore and aft. Then I level it side to side by raising one and lowering the other at the same time. That maintains the fore and aft level while leveling side to side. It works very well as long as the ground isn't too sloped.
For hooking up, I just run them together like they were a single motor system.
wilber1, it is not so good to do it the way you described. You first need to level side to side before lowering legs.
Doing it the way you described you ARE TWISTING the frame.
