WELCOME!

There are some videos on you tube, but mostly on opening them.

Leveling--you will never get it exact but try to get as close as possible.
You will need to put a level on the tongue from side to side and use blocks of wood, plastic levelers or similar items to put under the tire that is lowest and then back onto the wood, the trailer should now be level from side to side.
Move the level to a part of the tongue so that it is facing front to back and using the motorized lift raise the trailer off the tow vehicle and move it out of the way. Now raise or lower the tongue until you are level front to back and side to side. Now lower the 4 jacks, one in each corner. If you do not have pads, use a block of wood to keep it from sinking into the ground. In Florida plan on using 2x6x6 because of the sand. Only snug these to make the trailer rigid, do not use them to lift the trailer, you will mess up your leveling.
Open the trailer up, several good you tubes on this.
You have done the hard part for your first opening in your driveway.

Now, join the group for the best spent $12 a year you will spend. There are sections in there you cannot go to right now that will give step by step instructions on almost anything you ever wanted to know, (gee I think that is part of the name on it).
You join by going here- http://www.trailmanorowners.com/foru...ead.php?t=1064 and follow the directions.

Your closest dealer is about 4 hours North of you in Nevada, IA and may be the best place to go for your first trip. Most dealers will be happy to show you the ins and out. Hope there is an owner near you that can stop by but Toledo is a wee bit too far to run over.
Good luck!

Dave
