Jim, I use a poor man's solution to the problem. Camping World offers an adjustable landing gear adapter. I drop one side and lower the leg until it snaps in. I drop the other side, the one with the adjustable leg, and **raise** it until it snaps in place. Then I just rotate the foot downwards until it touches down. Then I use the switch to raise the coach. I've used this on three fifthwheels over almost 6 years. Works great.

Also, I've found that if I lower the legs first, to just a couple of inches from the blocks, we are far more stable in the rig. You'd have to allow for terrain where you need to lower the nose below the position when hitched.

I tried just dropping them and not getting them both on the blocks and had the same twist that caused the door to stick, etc. I prefer to not add that stress to the frame. Just my preference.
