Dave -
Can the pins be removed? Over the years, TM has swung both ways on that. On most TMs, only one of the pins is easily removable. The other one seems to be swaged in tight. I'm betting that you could beat it out with a hammer, then slightly enlarge the hole, and make it easily removable thereafter.
Whenever the tongue is swung aside, it is important not to put any weight on the tongue jack. Years ago, one of our members put weight on the jack, and bent something important.
Once all four stabilizers are down, it is perfectly safe to enter and live in the trailer. Remember, each jack by itself is rated to lift more than the entire weight of the trailer.
