Officially, per the manual, you can't. They used to tell everyone that you could, and everyone did, but then I'm guessing a lawyer showed up. Whatever the reason, the manual now says don't. Anita has been with Oliver for forever, so maybe she missed the memo, or maybe she's a member of a secret organization of rebellious pirates, the existence of which I cannot confirm, who still use their jacks however they d.w. please.

You’re going to get differing points of view on this. I have used the stabilizing jacks to lift the trailer to remove tires (rebalance after TPMS install). I would use the stabilizing jacks if I had a flat on the side of the road. But, for long term leveling I prefer to use something under the tires to get near level and then use the jacks to fine tune. At first I just had some scrap 2X6’s but now use the big yellow legos. I can tell by the front jack bubble level how many I’ll need. Usually one or two is enough. I also made 8” blocks to put under all three jacks so they aren’t extended too far, and supplement them with the legos when needed. Mike

I have a 6" torpedo level that we keep near the door. When putting the unit on a site we get an idea how level or how much adjusting we might have to do before unhooking. Fore and aft on the tongue gives me an idea about whether or not I will have to raise to disconnect, or disconnect, move the TV, and lower. By putting the level cross wise I know about how level from side to side before disconnecting, in case I have to move. A final check on the rear bumper confirms. Legos on one side , if needed, level the front. Only then do we lower the rear stablizers onto 11" blocks. We confirm with the rear number and then put the level away. This system has worked for many years. Never heard of, nor would want to, jack under or near the axles. Can't imagine the time and stability issues that could raise...

If jacking the trailer one should put the jack under the spring plate, that attaches the axles to the springs. If done this way no damage would be done to the axles. of course the jack would have to be placed so it would not be hitting any of the " U " bolts. I believe this would be the correct way to change a tire also. Please correct me if i am wrong. Harold

There is a phone app. Bubble level it has bubble level, surface level, gyroscope, plumb line, metal detector.and compass all work great and are very accurate.

Happened to us in Texas. We went away for the day, and left the bathroom sink dripping somewhat. By the time we got back to the site we had flooded the bath and upper hallway with water running out the upper hallway (at least it was clean water). A neighbor had noticed the water and turned off our water supply. From that day, to this, I turn off the water supply when leaving for an extended time.
