Leveling my fifth wheel

I have recently pulled into a new park and leveled my unit. A neighbor said I did it wrong and was going to bend my frame. In the front the stabilizer jacks are on a couple boards but they aren't both pinned in the same hole ex. One is holding one side taller than the other. On the back I have a cinder block with some board on it under the skid plate to hold it level. (Yes the book says it is okay to use the skid plates as a place for jacks) does this sound like it will bend my frame?

Thank you!!!

If you are leveling with the stabilizer jacks, yes. You need to level side - side with boards/blocks under the tires. Then level front to rear with the jack/landing gear. Then you lower the stabilizer jacks just enough to apply pressure to keep the bounce down, not to lift the trailer.
