Extended Stay
When you plan to stay in the same place for several days, weeks, or months, you will want your trailer to
be as level and steady as possible. To ensure that your trailer is level you can do so by using a small
construction level and either set it on the A-frame of the trailer or on the inside of the trailer. If a correction
is necessary, you must level from side-to-side first. This can be done easily by backing the trailer up onto
one or more 2 x 6 boards. We do not recommend placing tires in a hole for leveling.
Leveling
Level from front to rear by disconnecting the hitch from the tow vehicle and adjusting the jack up or down
until you are level. Block or chock the wheels to keep the trailer from rolling. Use the Support legs at the
two rear corners, to eliminate the natural spring action of the axles.
Support legs
The support legs are located at the rear corners of the trailer. Use the manual handle to lock the legs into
position. Support legs should only be lowered enough to contact the ground.
WARNING:
Support legs are designed to
stabilize the trailer only. Misuse of the
support legs to level or lift the trailer may
result in damage to the legs and
potentially the trailer.
WARNING:
Whenever the trailer must be
lifted, as when changing a tire or leveling
on very rough terrain, always place the
lifting jack under the main frame rail.
Never use Support legs to lift the trailer.
Effects of Prolonged Occupancy
Your trailer was designed primarily for recreational use and short-term occupancy. If you expect to occupy
the trailer for an extended period, be prepared to deal with condensation and the humid conditions that may
be encountered.
Moisture can condense on the inside surfaces of the trailer during cold weather, when relative humidity of
the interior air is high. This condition is increased because the insulated walls of the camper are much thinner
than house walls. Also, the relatively small volume and tight compact construction of modern camper means
that the normal living activities of even a few occupants will lead to rapid moisture saturation.
Estimates indicate that a family of four can vaporize up to three gallons of water daily through breathing,
cooking, bathing, and washing. Unless the water vapor is carried outside by ventilation, or condensed by a
dehumidifier, it will condense on the inside of the windows and walls as moisture, or in cold weather, as frost
or ice. It may also condense out of sight, within the walls or the ceiling, where it will manifest itself as warped
or stained panels.
