Question:

Will this unit level a trailer on uneven ground? We vend at carnivals and are often parked on uneven street parking. So we may have a 12” drop from side to side.

The Electric Ground Control TT Automatic 5-Point Travel Trailer Leveling System # LC672136 does not require your trailer to be on perfectly even ground to level it.

That said a 12 inch drop from one side to the other would not allow the jacks to level your trailer because the rear jacks have a maximum of 12 inches of travel while the A-frame jack has 18 inches of travel. Trying to level at an angle which is too steep would get you an "Excessive Angle" error message. This system is designed to help level trailers at campsites on reasonably level surfaces instead of more extreme angles and slopes.

If I am understanding correctly then this will work on a side to side difference of 8 and a front to back difference of 10:.

The Electric Ground Control TT Automatic 5-Point Travel Trailer Leveling System # LC672136 is not designed to lift the trailer off the ground. You should always try to get the trailer as level as possible before using the stabilizers. The legs will have a lot of travel but they are designed for situations where you have enough blocks with you to back the trailer onto and still need to drop the stabilizing legs to the ground to support the trailer side to side and front to back. Overall this is going to be a great solution to getting your trailer stabilized when often camping on uneven terrain.
