I've got my new-to-me TT and I love it so far. But I could use some advice on leveling. I moved up from a 1995 Coleman Roanoke Popup which we loved. Leveling that rig was simple because it was so light we could raise the roof on the axle and then use the ratchet jacks at each corner to level it up. But with the Sportsmen Classic 190, the stabilizing jacks (note I don't say leveling) seem to only do that: stabilize. They don't have enough lift to actually level the rig. So I've purchased some lego-style leveling blocks which are OK. But am I correct in assuming you really can't "level" with the screw jacks on each corner? Just asking the veterans on this forum how they attack this issue. Thanks.

You are correct, the screw jacks at the corners of the TT are meant for stabilizing not for lifting. The "Lego" style blocks are ok for leveling, but a lot of people use the Anderson leveling ramps for side to side leveling. www.amazon.com/Andersen-Hitches-3604-Camper-Leveler/dp/B001GC2LVM For us, they are much easer to use. Of course, for front to back leveling we use the tongue jack. |

To add to Larry's information, level side to side using blocks of your choice under the tires on the low side. Disconnect from the tow vehicle, and then level front to rear with the tongue jack. Last, crank down the stabilizer jacks till they are just firm. Excessive lifting on one corner can tweak the frame.

Thanks all - I'm heading out today and will be using the Andersen leveling ramp that larryo suggested.

I use to buy 2X10 8ft treated planks, then cut them to size I needed, bevel each end to the whells would go up pretty easy, was cheak an worked well even for my 5th wheels or Class C, now with new trailer I still carry on 6ft 2x10 plank but the 6 point hydraulic leveling system has made me lazy Ugh  Safe Travels Chuck |
