A couple of years ago my brother-in-law & I were camping in a State Park in Indiana. Beautiful park, but oh my, those sites are uneven.

He backed his brand new trailer up, unhitched it and watched roll down the side of a hill into a ravine. After 4 hours and some generous soles working for the Park Service he finally got his trailer up and on site. Minor damage only.

Meanwhile, I had to use everything I bring with me to level the trailer + borrow extra material from other campers. One side of the trailer had wheels on the ground and the other side was elevated about 18" in the air. Needless to say, stabilizer jacks weren't much use that trip.

I agree Leon, CHOCK THOSE WHEELS! And I fall in the camp that levels first and fine tunes after.
