Good tips. Thanks Guys. Last week I went to home depot, bought a 12 foot long 2x12 and had them cut it into 10 pieces. Then I drilled a hole in each on and strung a rope through it to make a handle to carry it or to pull it up if it gets stuck in the ground.
I have yet to use the jacks myself other than watching them do it before I bought it. I drove it home for the first time two days ago. It's my one remaining major uncertainty.
Right now it's parked on the street, and its kind of a busy street, but I had no choice while I move out of my house and into the RV. Tomorrow I'll be brining it to a friends house for a couple of nights. I'll have to park on the street there as well, but its a very low traffic area. As of now I have a bunch of stuff that I can't put into drawers because I have to open one of the slides to access most of the bedroom drawers. I want to put the jacks down and open the slide so I can put everything away in its place. Any problems doing this on a street? Just for a short while. I'm concerned that the tilting towards one side will put stress on the jacks. Is it nothing to worry about?
