Can Bottle Jack be Used For Leveling Trailer
Question:
I have a Surveyor 19rble single axel camper with Lippert frame and axel. Can I use a bottle jack for side to side leveling at a campsite and if so, where do I place the bottle jack? I am only talking less than 4 inches and probably less than 2. In addition, the wheels will still be chocked as well as using the four corner stabilizing jacks. Thx Thanks

No you definitely don't want to use a bottle jack to level a trailer. They aren't made for leveling or stabilizing as they don't have the design needed; they don't attach to a large enough portion of the frame. If you need more leveling, use leveling jacks to do so:
- Ultra-Fab Ultra Scissor Jacks # UF48-979002
If you don't want to add more jacks then the best thing to do is use leveling blocks, Ultra-Fab Leveling Blocks for Trailers and RVs # UF48-979051.
