    If you "choke" a wheel does it die? If you "chock" a wheel does it move?

    LOL! Ok, I'll try to cut you some slack given that we do share borders.

    Once your trailer is where you want it on the site and level side to side, chock the trailer wheels, deploy the trailer jack and lift the truck and the trailer both until the pressure is relieved on the stabilizer bars. Remove the bars - but keep the safety chains connected to the truck! - then lower the jack until some of the trailer weight is back on the ball. Open the latch on the trailer tongue and raise the trailer off the hitch ball. Once you’re confident the trailer is secure and won’t roll forward or backward remove the safety chains and drive the truck forward until the hitch is clear. Level the trailer front to back, attach the power, water and sewer as appropriate, deploy the slide and start camping!

    That’s our process and typically we’re enjoying adult beverages in 15 minutes or less - we both have our respective jobs and it works well for us. Practice makes perfect!

    Park and level side to side using blocks or plastic spacers (still connected to tow vehicle)

    Chock wheels

    Using front hitch jack raise tow vehicle and trailer together to take pressure off of the bars

    Once pressure is off remove bars

    Lower trailer until all on the truck

    Undo ball coupler and raise until tow vehicle are trailer are separated

    Pull truck forward to full clear

    Lower jack until trailer is level front to back

    Hope this helps. [emoji4]

    Happy campin!

    Bill

    Keep the units chains connected until off the ball. Once off the ball remove the chains and emergency break cable. Then pull away

    Since I'm on a cul-de-sac and our drive has a little 'uphill', I pull out and get out of the driveway before I put the bars on when we leave. And take them off before making the cul-de-sac turn and backing up the driveway, coming home. So I guess that I'm doing it a little backward.....

    Not really. I remove my bars while my wife checks in. I find the trailer backs (turns) quicker without the bars attached. Same for those times I put mine in my driveway as I have a slope as well.

    Don’t forget to unplug before moving the truck.

    "Don’t forget to unplug before moving the truck." Also don't forget to unplug from the power pedestal before breaking camp. That can make some expensive noises.
