Front jacks scraping on incline
We just had to bail on our overnight reservation due to not being able to enter the Campground's driveway. (r&D in Va) There is a considerable sharp incline off the road and the front jacks were making contact with the ground. This was after we encountered an even worse incline at an intersection on a detour to the campground.( we almost got stuck) Adding insult to injury were the railroad tracks on the way to our overnight accommodations at the Flying J. A sign before the tracks had an image of a trailer scraping the ground. We made it over with inches to spare but getting out in the cold with my flashlight to guide my driver is not my idea of fun. And, yes, the jacks are fully retracted and the pin is in the lowest possible hole.
This rig is new to us (high country 362RD) but we've driven it since sept all over New Jersey and to a few campgrounds with no issues. As I'm typing this I'm wondering if the tailgate made contact and damaged the trailer!? At the time i was only paying attention tot the ground. I'll have to check in the morning.
Has this happened to anyone else?
