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.]]>

It’snot a strength issue but a flex issue. When the trailer is fully supported bythe wheels the frame is <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">slightly</i></b>bowed downward at the front and rear of the camper. The bow at the front issomewhat compensated by the tongue jack but the rear bow remains. If a levelingforce is applied by the stabilizers the bow is reversed and the frame will be <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">slightly</i></b> bowed upward at front and rear.In the extreme the camper could be totally supported by the rear stabilizersand the tongue jack resulting in maximum <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">slight</i></b>upward bowing of the frame. <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Althoughslight</i></b> the change in frame bow will flex all wall and roof joints, stressingseals and aggravating potential leaks. Although not an overstress risk to theframe it would add to the known leak potential of all campers. The stabilizersare for stabilizing; plastic or wood levelers are for leveling. Keep the loadon the wheels.</font></p><!--if gte mso 9> <w:Word>  <w:View>Normal</w:View>  <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom>  <w:TrackMoves/>  <w:Trackatting/>  <w:Punctuati&#111;nKerning/>

No levelers. Dome always fits a bit better when level or slightly pitched toward dome side. "How much time before dinner?" I asked. "Ten minutes", she says. "Plenty of time", I think.</div><div><br></div><div>I really haven't had much opportunity to use the hydraulic floor jack I carry. This seemed like a perfect time! I sat my cocktail down and got to work. Figured one Lynx leveler would do it and the dome would fit perfect!</div><div><br></div><div>Slid the jack under the axle riser and slowly pumped the pod up. Didn't want to scare the wife or mess up my dinner. Of course, you gotto raise quite a bit to lift the tire and slide a Lynx leveler under it. I got it all the way up and leveler under and she didn't say a word. Surprised me. I was a bit too confident...</div><div><br></div><div>It's generally a good idea to very, very slowly release the hydraulic valve to lower the jack. I was so proud of my new found leveling method, I sorta forgot and gave the valve a crank. Pod came down with a crash. Surprised me. Scared the sh*! out of wife in the galley. She came running out thinking someone just drove into our Pod! "It's all good Hon. We're perfect now!" I tried to sound convincing and confident. "Don't EVER do that again!" she quietly exclaimed in a slightly above average campground voice.</div><div><br></div><div>Suffice to say...I won't do that again. Should make sure the level is exactly where I want it before putting dome up and definitely before cocktail hour! Or, buy an Anderson leveler.</div><div><br></div><div>fred</div>]]>

I can and have the pod leveled side to side, front to back, by myself in under 5 minutes from getting out of the tv.]]>

Sideways or in the direction of the tow hitch?  The Anderson is only for left and right leveling.  Up to 4".  I have an electric jack for front to rear leveling and I do chock the opposite tire from the Anderson leveler.  I do not want my jack holding the trailer in place.  Just to level.  We were on a fairly steep pad and my jack slipped about an 1".  That is when I realized I need to chock the other wheel before taking it lose from the tow vehicle.  No problems since.</td></tr></table><br>Not sideways. When I was trying to use a block under the Andersen to gain the additional height, the Andersen leveler would slide instead of the tire rolling up onto it. If it did start, then when I let off the brake, the Andersen would slide and pop out from under the tire. That does not occur if I am using it directly on the concrete. It also has not slipped when directly on blacktop or gravel or ground. It was only when trying to use it on top of a 2x10 piece of lumber that it slipped.<br><br>I really like the Andersen leveler, but if you need more than 4" of lift, you will need to go with an alternative unless you can figure out how to keep it from slipping when placed on top of a piece of lumber.<br>]]>
