There is a second thing that people have done to assist in opening the shells. They allow gravity to help.

Normal method of opening: First you level left to right with blocks of wood under the left or right tire. Front to back you level with the jack on the tongue (either electric or manual jack), then you rise the shells.


Gravity assistance: There has been some threads describing the method. I would recommend that you search and find them. But an overview is you do the first step left to right leveling the same. The second step you make the direction you want the shell to go lower than level. The more you are off level the less force needed. example: when opening the front, front needs to be lower than level to open the front shell and the back need to be lower than level to open the rear shell. To close it; rear should be higher for rear shell and front should be higher fro front shell.

Look for the thread. Play with it when you have help, so you understand how it work before you by yourself at a campsite.
