OMG, that’s the advice that is sooo weird about this site......
OP has a bad FRONT jack and the camper won’t stand on 1 front jack period end of story unless ya seriously ballasted in the rear.
Of course you can. Slightly raise the good front jack and the back jack on the other side. Lower the other rear jack. With a little tinkering the camper will be supported by the 3 good jacks and all the pressure will be off of the bad jack.
By tinkering do you mean piling a bunch of weight on the opposite rear corner or tethering the jack to the ground? The COG of a camper is much closer to the front than the rear jacks. Simply put, this means it will always tip forward if 2 diagonally opposite jacks are extended further than the other 2.
