The idea that they can't do so is a myth that goes back to the days when the TM had drop-down stabilizers, like the ones on lightweight popups today.

Glad you got the problem resolved.

All good thoughts Bill except for the last one, on our 2011 2720SL, and this may be just ours, the "stabilizer" jacks are only rated at 500# not 5000# and our owners manual says Do Not Use to change a tire again that may be just ours. But then the jacks also have you cranking the wrong way to raise or lower per the label.
