Question:
I have a Surveyor 19rble single axel camper with Lippert frame and axel. Can I use a bottle jack for side to side leveling at a campsite and if so, where do I place the bottle jack? I am only talking less than 4 inches and probably less than 2. In addition, the wheels will still be chocked as well as using the four corner stabilizing jacks. Thx Thanks

Expert Reply:
No you definitely don't want to use a bottle jack to level a trailer. They aren't made for leveling or stabilizing as they don't have the design needed; they don't attach to a large enough portion of the frame. If you need more leveling, use leveling jacks to do so:
- Ultra-Fab Ultra Scissor Jacks # UF48-979002
If you don't want to add more jacks then the best thing to do is use leveling blocks, Ultra-Fab Leveling Blocks for Trailers and RVs # UF48-979051.
