LIVING WITH YOUR TRAILER
LEVELING AND STABILIZATION
Leveling of your trailer at the site is important. A level trailer is not only necessary for comfort
but your refrigerator must be level in order to operate properly.
Stabilization is recommended to keep the trailer from bouncing while unhitched when people are
moving inside the trailer.
Stabilizer jacks are intended to stabilize the trailer body while the trailer's full tongue weight is
supported by the hitch jack (conventional trailers)
Stabilizer jacks are not designed to lift or level the trailer or support its entire weight. If
your trailer is not factory-equipped with stabilizer jacks, be sure the jacks you use are load
rated for the weight they will support. Optional permanently mounted stabilizer jacks are avail-
able on most models and are located near each corner.
