Tongue Jack too short

[OurNewEra]

You should probably only need a plank maybe 2 thick. It doesn't have to be perfect. [emoji854]

Great idea! I'm thinking two but most likely 3.

Thanks for the suggestion @Ynot4me2! I was definitely overthinking it and I would have definitely overbuilt it. Like I do with most things. Two were plenty.

That's what the place is for. Glad to have helped.

A brief Slightly off topic ...Why do you only level 1 axle, not both? we level both, would think it adds stability to the inside while walking around..

He's parked on a good forward slop. This is to even out both axle. Prior to this all the weight was only on his rear axle.

I have a very sloped driveway. Once I get the trailer level with the tongue jack a majority of the weight was shifted to the rear axle. Leveling uses the rear axle as the fulcrum and removes weight from the front axle.

What's the best method to get a trailer up higher on the tongue jack than it goes? Second Jack? Jack stands? blocks?
We have a chance to moochdock again at our friends house. We did it once before but the jack is too short to level the trailer on their driveway due to the slant. I was able that time to use a bottle jack to hold up the trailer while I put more blocks under the tongue jack then raise it up to level. I tried that at another campground and had it slip off the temporary jack, very scary.

I installed The Flip Foot. It is a little bit longer but it folds up out of the way.

I also built some wood cinder blocks if I need more height.

Question on your flip foot. If you don't have enough clearance for it to extend, like when your in an uneven lot, can it still be used in the stowed position (lower the jack and keep the flip jack horizontal)?

Yes, you can lower the tongue jack down with the 'Flip' in the horizontal position. I have had to do this myself in the situation where the tongue of the trailer needed to be close to the ground.

I got a couple 6x6 treated blocks with handles screwed to them for ease of use. I also use them to raise trailer off tires for winter storage.
