Prior to the TM, we owned several pop-ups over the years. Most, if not all, of the owners' manuals included strong warnings about attempting to use the stabilizer jacks as leveling jacks for all the reasons mentioned in the posts to this site.

Perhaps the nomenclature istself should be instructive as to how they are to be used, i. e "stabilizer" being a device that keeps the corners from bobbing up and down while the occupants move about inside the trailer and "leveling" being the a totally different process.

Anyway, it makes sense to do it that way and we have carried that technique over to the TM. I built four blocks about 6" high with an 18" handle to make the stabilizing process easier. With a lift kit installed, I found the stabilizer jacks had to be extended a long way, and on a sloped site the jacks on the down-hill corners may not reach the ground.
