Level Up Front Legs

So, while getting our new 3750FL ready for winter, I happened to notice that the front legs of the Level Up living gear angle outward slightly from top to bottom. I'm wondering if this is normal but I just haven't noticed it up to this point? Has anybody else noticed this with their rig? We had previously set all the legs down but I took the back and middle ones up and that is when I noticed this appearance. I'm concerned that I have somehow made this happen in doing that.

By the way, I contacted Montana and asked them if they recommended that the landing gear be all down or up while storing it in the driveway over winter. The representative I spoke to said it is their opinion that it doesn't matter which you do.

You are right! They do angle out or away from each other. All is normal.

Actually they all are mounted at an angle, 5 degrees I think I read. I believe it is for stability.

Good to know! This way the panic won't commence when I see this happening.

Same here. Appears driver side, slightly more. May be an illusion?
