Charlie,

Excellent information I hadn't thought of.  I believe you're exactly right.  Even though I had used the jacks for leveling, the impact driver I was using did struggle which was concerning.

I use a clutched Milwaukee cordless drill to set the stabilizers. I think I put the clutch on "5" or some low-mid level setting. Then I put the drill into low speed mode (most torque), and run it on high until the clutch slips. I go around the pod once to get all the stabilizers down, then I make a second pass in case anything has moved. Takes all of a minute to do the whole thing.

Update on the broken Anderson Leveler.  Received the replacement from Anderson.  It had a small diagram/note in the box that explained/showed that on twin axles if the tires are too close together the leveler can be cut (happens to be at the same point the first one broke) and used on the front axle.

So yesterday while setting up or 28’ camper at a state park I tried to use the “broken” one.  It worked but using them on the low side I still needed more lift.  Had to put a 2x6 under them.  One held the “broken” one slipped on the board so I couldn’t use it.  The new “full size” leveler would not fit because of the axles moving closer together during leveling.  I think if I put some tape like that used on stairways the leveler will stay put on a slick surface.

Lessened learned: If it’s broke it ain’t necessarily broke.
