Default Stabilizing - My Two Cents

We've had two popups and now have a TrailManor.

As others have said, we've always used short planks or Lynx Levelers to first level from side to side (Have never had to use more than and inch or so to level side-to-side). Then, use the front jack to level front to back. Finally, chock all tires before disconnecting our tow vehicle.

I notice you didn't put any chocks on your curbside tires and that the tires are not centered on the levelers (could roll off, even with jacks down?). And, I would never raise a tire off the ground, except to change a flat tire, since this would put a lot of twisting stress on the frame and everything attached to it.

Enjoy your TrailManor and Merry Christmas!
