    It won't hurt anything, unless you have something under the front.

    Hate to say it Brett but the top front cap is best cleaned from the roof of the trailer. With a long brush you can reach about halfway down the cap then get the bottom from the ground. If you have to stay on the ground a ladder and long brush can reach about 3/4 of it.

    Our last 5er had a full set of inset marker lights up there and from the roof was the only way to get to them. Good times when you had to change a bulb....

    I've done this many times Brett. No problem. At least with my landing gear I can get the front so low it looks really odd.

    While I have my 303 hooked up to TV, I put a 2x12 plank across the side rails to use as a platform to stand on. Very stable and can reach to top of cap to clean / wax.
