Our Big Sky has been re-leveled and is now sitting on some 2x10's x 2' under the blocking that we were already using. This cut the motion of the trailer by about 75%. We are now sitting on top of a hill with the ground all around like a sponge from all of the rain that we've had. I doubt that I can stop any further movement until the ground firms up. When we raised the jacks it was evident that a couple were sinking in the gravel pad. This is another thing to add to our check list - check the level about once a week when parked on other than a concrete pad.

Just thinking about "what if" as I write this. I suspect that it would have been possible for the trailer to sink to the point that it would have been difficult to hitch up. The front left jack sunk about an inch and a half in less than two weeks and the other two left jacks were starting to sink as well. What if we sat all winter and failed to check the level. Maybe nothing! Maybe disaster!
