Is the spot where you are jacking coming into alignment leaving other floor areas still too low? If so try placing blocks and shims in that area and jacking somewhere else. IOW applying upward force at several points might help.

I might suggest giving it a little time and/or adding some weight to the trailer. You don't want to push too much, as it might fracture the floor.

Hello Everyone, new to the forum.

We have a 2017 HR 178 and after checking I find that my floor is sagging on the slide side, door side is perfectly square.

I am at the point where I am ready to install the outriggers but have ran into a problem.

When I place the hydraulic jack under the side wall that is sagging it only moves the floor and wall up about 1/4" after that the whole trailer is being lifted. This leaves the floor and frame about 1/4" off of being square but the floor and wall will not move any higher.
could use some help. 
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
